you have complete control over lighting and contrast in a studio so why bother shooting RAW?

Theoretically it is true. Practically, as i am using LR as my main wokflow tool, and processing a raw file takes the same time and effort as processing a jpg, I don't see any reason to use jpg at the first place.

I slways shoot and process raw only as part of a workflow weather it is needed or not. It will give me the advantage when i need it and will be transperent when i dont. Life is much easier that way.

LR4 makes raw processing so fast/easy, why would anyone waste time with a compressed jpeg and have to settle for what the camera decides to bake into the image? I'm talking sharpening and colors since they all add some even when its turned all the way down, yuk and no thanks. Shoot raw, do your best to nail it in cam and fine tune until your vision is realized. Plus if you happen to shoot something that's not perfectly exposed you'll have more to recover in post. The only time I don't is when I'm going to be traveling for an extended period of time and I don't have the storage space, otherwise its raw ... always. YMMV.

post a RAW studio image for our gazing pleasure.
