X-E1 No RAW for me

I'm using an X-pro1. Have done more testing, pixel peeping, and printing to confirm results than I generally care to. I'm using LR4.3.  In my tests the infamous LR water color raw conversion issue is often visible at 200% - rarely does it show to the naked eye on prints that are 10"x15". I've done tests where I've matched the converted raw as closely as possible to the jpeg and printed both and without a loupe can't discern which print came from which file.  I'm generally getting results from raw conversions that are as good or better than the OOC JPEGS. The jpegs do offer a fair amount of adjustment 'headroom' but the converted raws have much better hilite recovery range than the jpegs.

When I expose accurately the jpegs very good. Hope Adobe improves the X-trans raw conversions.  In the meantime this article from an excellent photographer has become my guiding light.
