Can I hear a difference? Yes.

Are the drums tracks clearer in the wav file version? Yes, a bit.

Is it worth the extra $? To me, for use in commercial recordings, yes. For you, I don't know. The difference is rather small.

There have been several other threads about this question, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are more than a year old and not search-able anymore.

EDIT. I was able to find several good threads. Here's one to get you started: http://www.pgmusic.com/ubbthreads/showfl...true#Post211908
