I use Photoshop CS but both PE3 and PSCS use the same Adobe Camera Raw converter plug-in. I'm currently using the v2.4 beta version as it supports the *istDS PEF files. Works like a charm, and Photoshop's basic editing/tool model works very well for me whether it's Elements or the full application.
I'd say buy PE3, upgrade to ACR v2.4 beta. It has enough 16bit support to do most of what you need, and if it proves to be insufficient, you can then upgrade to the full Photoshop CS.
