More testing and I still can't tell which I prefer. However, I just played with Audacity to subtract an encoded/decoded MP3 waveform from the original WAV, so what's left should be the differences. I have two 30-second FLAC examples of the same piece, one the difference between 320Kbps CBR and WAV and one of VBR and WAV:
