All true, and irrelevant to this practical discussion. The metadata and other
extras are teeny, tiny, compared to the
image data. And they remain the same size, regardless of image size. With file
sizes North of 100 MB, the issue is moot.
The only significant difference is dropping the IR channel.

Yes, and that's good. I didn't know about stripping out and not including parts
of the metadata. Not sure I like that.
Doesn't matter to me, though. For digital camera images, I retain the original
Raw file, the XMP file produced by ACR
and the processed PSD file, all backed up. For scans, there is no useful
metadata.
