What actually is the benefit of being in a clan, beyond a couple of trophies that require it? Not that I'm strictly averse to joining the EG (although for some reason I'm not as keen to join an overspill one).

Clans are supposedly capped at 150 members. Not sure how we've hit that, but we've hit something. I've created a second EG clan so we have somewhere to put new people. Not great but it's how it is. http://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Detail/494120
