I wonder if upscaling from 8 bits to 16 bits will improve your images 
or not. Your asking PS to "make up" pixel data, I think??

In a class I took at santa fe I was told there was no point in going 
from 8 to 16 bit in Photoshop because the end result had no more pixel 
info than the original.  You simply double the same info and get a 
bigger file.  
Another option is CS3 with Bridge CS3, now available free as a Beta 
version for PS users who have CS2.  It lets you run a JPEG file through 
the RAW converter. Scot Kelby did a demo video and I think it's on this 
week's Photoshop TV.  I don't know how the end result will compare with 
the other suggestions with respect to "damage" to the file caused by 
large amounts of manipulation.
