The advantage of post processing the file is that you have greater flexibility and control. IMHO the quality isn't as good as the in camera TIFF, the edges are definitely poorer. However the Photolab program is a dog, point it towards a sub with a couple of hundred RAW images and it'll gag. It's just crap. Unless you have an library program that can understand Pentax RAW files then you are stuck with it for previews however at least the RAW plugin for PS CS now provides a viable alternative for post processing.
