I agree with Leon. If you want jpeg to behave more like RAW use picture wizard to reduce sharpness and contrast settings, then use an editor to bring them back.

I will use this same picture wizard setup, even though I shoot raw. In conjunction with the histogram, this helps in exposing to the right without fear of clipping, while maximizing information in the shadows for easy processing. Helps with jpg info too; just requires post processing. For me, if I'm going to do pp work (which I enjoy), I would just as soon do it with the raw file.
