One other thing to consider in the the move to FF is computer horsepower. If your RAW file sizes double or triple, you'll be wanting at least duo-core and probably quad-core processors with beaucoup RAM running at high clock rates. Disk space requirements will shoot up.
I just did an 8 shot (all RAW) pano stitch in CS3 on my P4 @ 2.6ghz with 1 GB RAM - took it a couple hours. The resulting PSD file was 756 MB in size.
