It's done.
Malachor wasn't exactly as coherent as it could've been with its jump cuts to different parties and all, and some things are still left out for some reason or another, but Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords finally has a proper endgame. I'm not going to spoil it completely for those who don't know what's supposed to happen (Khuutra does), but suffice to say that among other things, your companions don't just vanish into thin air anymore. Well, apart from Bao-Dur, that is.
Overall, I'd say that the improvement is a solid +1/10 addition to the game scorewise (ie. 8/10 -> 9/10) - much of the restored content served to fill places that were left a little empty and/or confusing, and although some of the expanded material were just extended killfests it was still nice to see these things play out when in the vanilla game they were just ignored - especially the parts concerning either your party or major players of the story. Oh, and any new scene involving either Kreia or HK-47 is just pure awesome.
Definitely recommend this to anyone, although I'd suggest people to play the game thru once without the addon - if only to be able to see what the mod actually does for the game.
And here are a few hints for anyone playing this:
1. Talk to HK-47 about the voice module as soon as you're able.
2. Don't download any maps in a certain factory unless you want to witness a showstopping bug.
3. Build up Atton, HK-47, the Handmaiden and Mira before you start the endgame (you'll see why).
4. When you reach the final area of the game - you'll know it when you see it - take the RIGHT path at the beginning.

Good to hear it was all worth the while. I'm barely at Nar Shaadda, but you're making me want to blaze to the end. I'm going to savor it though. Even the minor addition of having the Telos characters actually end up on Nar Shaadda, like they said they would, made the game feel a little more fleshed out: having the rest of the stuff should be a blast!

Do these have an effect on the story? Like are there in-game story elements that are affected by these actions or is it just a normal fight and then for the rest of the game everyone acts like it never happened? Like if I make Handmaiden kill off her sisters then I talk to her on the ship, is she going to bring it up in conversation?

I'm not sure, to be honest, since I haven't gotten that far. My guess is that, since they're near the end, they probably won't radically alter the end-game (all that's left at that stage is Malachor). Instead, I think the late-game additions are intended more as a payoff for all the stuff you went through earlier.
