The importance of RAW?

I'm sort of in the market for a new point and shoot ie I want a new one but don't actually NEED one yet I've found the new canon s80 for £300 + p&p then only thing stoping me pressing the add to cart button is the lack of RAW .

I don't want a dSLR (although if you're giving one away ..... ) I just wouldn't carry it around but I do want to be able to play with setting to get the shot I can see in my head Eventally I'd love to have posterish sized photos up around my house they'll never be as good as store bought pro photos but they'll be mine and have memories attached etc so its important to me that the photos will look as good as possible at full size.

Really what I want to know is is it worth the possibly hopless hunt and for a "full control" compact with RAW I'm discounting the panny lx1 due to the noisy looking sensor or should I just go for the s80 and play with the jpgs in CS2?

Oh as the s70 is still a decent camera has any seen any big prints from it is it worth me getting a camera that uses CF cards rather than the SDs I've already got?
