FZ 150 RW2 vs JPeg

Hi,

I read the review made on Imaging Resource, and I can see that there are several issues in RW2 than in JPeg shots. Barrel distorsion and CA problems (very little)

When I see at JPeg and RW2 pics I took, I can't really really see that much different.

More, when shooting RAW in burst mode, the buffering is longer and the continuos shots "shorter".

Di I really need the RAW pics? Even in LR 3.5 I can correct Jpegs for noise and other things as good as I can with RAW.
I am sure that "detail man" and other gurus here will "kill" me for saying this.
I use 16GB Sandisk 45MB/S card so it's not a matter of saving space.

The war is open I await lots of comments
