For RAW to shine you do need to put in the post processing work to get results you couldn't achieve with jpeg. I think the decision comes down to 3 things in particular.1) Can you afford to screw up the odd shot due to poor white balance or exposure? RAW can fix the white balance and has more latitude with poor exposure.2) If you like to shoot in continuous mode often and value a fast frame rate then RAW might not be up to speed. This is particularly true of compacts.  3) If you cannot commit the time, money or effort involved in post processing then you'll gain little using RAW.</blockquote>
