It might have been - I know in the last 12 months I've done a complete 180 degrees on RAW. November 2006 was the first time I shot in RAW and I've learned a lot since then. But what's your point? That I can't grow as a photographer?
Beyond the faster lens performance I also really crave the sharpness that the pro-level Nikon glass offers.

I've toyed around with Noise Ninja and a few other tools, and with the noise reduction in Lightroom, but there's only so much trickery you can do (although I'm sure people can do some amazing things with it). Software adjustments are no replacement for getting a better photo in the first place though...
