I could understand it with the graduated ND filters (placing the darkest area over the sky, much as a translucent sun visor along the top of a windscreen) but I've seen advice to use a standard non-graduated ND to get the same effect, which makes no sense at all to me!
There are variable ND filters that can be used to "control" the exposure but they don't balance it.

Mark has the benefits of shooting RAW+ because he ends up with JPG.
I always keep my RAW files, JPGs are purely for the web or family and they get deleted once they have serve their purpose.
If you only use the RAW file then you don't have the benefit of the extra JPG file so the extra processing by the camera and storage space goes to waste.

Actually...I think I may have a problem with RAWTherapee...
When I open it I have a dos-prompt window with this message:
(rt.exe:356: Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",
What does it mean?

I try to shoot to the right so i've no use for JPG's out of the camera at all since they are overexposed

Hopefully Mike has a fun photo to play with as well.

So again, I'm failing to see the disadvantage of having both. :
I don't use the JPG because i like to have the finer control in processing to get the photo just right so it has no advantage for me either only the disadvantage that it takes up space and slows the camera down.

Unless I'm intending to make a large print of the end result the quality issue seems moot - I'd have to make a real effort to actually see the difference even on my 27" 2560 x 1440 (higher than 'true HD' resolution) iMac screen.
You should see a difference in sharpness though, look here around the middle of the page

If you've applied some digital filters/effects or whatever (which is what we're discussing) it is going to take a bit more than one click.
Also don't forget the time it takes to chose the effect on the camera, you can make presets on your computer so you could be just as fast.
