A friend of mine used to use the Nodal Ninja and he LOVED it.
Rotating around the nodal point helps with normal panos but it's really only super important if your doing full 360 spherical projections (that's what my friend used his for).
I do all my panos handheld, stitch with Hugin, and I rarely have any stitching issues but I'm only doing a single line of portrait shots and I'm not taking shots to fill in the top and bottom of the images.
EDIT: I like gbeal's idea of DIY, after all it's just about moving the tripod mount point forward on the camera so that it's in the same place as the centre of the sensor. The 5DmkII should have a mark on the body showing you where the sensor plane is (I don't have mine at work today so I can't check), maybe Octane would know about this?
