My point exactly. Thank you Mr. Robb for putting it in words better than I.

Are you shooting moderate apertures and near subjects? Infinity subjects and small apertures will hide the curved field issue...
Bingo. John finally gets it. The nice thing is, because the format is so small, infinity happens a lot sooner. And one more thing, what one is doing, in reality, is trading one form of distortion for another. Haven't you ever seen how wonky things go with a really wide angle lens? Its quite likely that the stitched shot will have less apparent distortion than one shot with a single exposure on a super wide lens.
