That solely depends on what you are using PS for.  If you are doing heavy
tonal manipulations, especially in B&W, that's certainly true.  For color,
it's debatable even for pretty heavy tonal manipulations.  If you aren't
doing any tonal manipulations, it doesn't matter.

With the Piezo driver, it very well may...that's scene dependant.
