Mami looked pretty happy when she was with Madoka. But you could also argue Mami was not in despair either; she was merely lonely; yet that would contradict how Mami was able to deposit her "grief" into the Grief Seed.

I do think that Kyubey takes something from his contractors. Every Puella Magi we have seen lacks a part of human emotion.

Homura - Humor
Mami - Friendship
Kyoko - Trust
Sayaka - ??? (Empathy, possibly...)

Of course, the real price is probably going to be revealed as much grander than single emotions.
