Nat, I know you have some reservations about shooting RAW especially the amount of time you'd spend at the computer.
For vast majority of time I have little or nothing to do to most images because as like you I try to get as much right at time of taking.
For those I got wrong RAW does give more scope for recovery than JPEG. As an example see below and this isn't a perfect example as the image was so bad in the first place its hard not to end up with noise in the shadows.
As shot (yes its bad and I don't know what happened to end up with this).

Got to say if I was doing any critical work I'd definitely shot RAW or RAW and JPEG.
