right-o. Nonetheless, I found the responses which addressed my
specific situation particularly helpful. My thanks to all the folks
who helped me contextually.

I see what you (and Martin) are saying. The main reason I like the
idea of actually opting to take a B/W image is that as a less than
pro photographer, there are times I see something I don't think is
very interesting in color, but wonder if it will be more interesting
in b/w... sometimes it is (depending on shape, contrast, shadow
etc.) I like to be able to preview the image that way to see how the
b/w contrasts look, etc.
I also thought maybe b/w photos would take up less memory, but maybe
I'm wrong there. I guess it isn't an essential feature, just kind of
handy to my inexperienced eye.

Yes, I absolutely agree here. I like to have enough wiggle room for
slicing & dicing, etc.
Thanks again, everyone, for the help.
