I must say, apart from file size I see no difference having shot in both RAW and jpg...

Jevad, how do you 'develop' RAW? I prefer photoshop. Whenever the camera gets WB wrong, RAW gives you.. well, raw data, in the form that it had just before WB was embedded in jpg. Try to play with it, you can set white balance, exposure, contrast, sharpness, luminance smoothing and so on during 'developing'. Normally the camera decides about those settings in the moment photo is taken and jpg written, all excess data is lost and you can't really play with those settings anymore.
Also, as I wrote, RAW gathers so much information, that you can easily underexpose down to -2 when shooting (it looks almost totally dark then) and bring it up in the RAW development process. Extremely usable in low light shooting without a tripod - you get shorter exposure times this way and are able to make shots that would be blurry otherwise.
