Up till now, with my K20, I've still been shooting in PEF because
they're the same bits and the files are smaller. What am I missing?

Probably not a thing.

The advantage comes from shooting in raw format. PEF is Pentax's raw format, DNG is Adobe PhotoShop's raw format.

As to DNG vs PEF, the REAL advantage is Pentax gives you the choice.

DNG might have a slight edge if you are still using PhotoShop CS2 or earlier, since the version of Adobe Camera Raw that supports the K20D only works with PhotoShop CS3 or later.

Shooting DNG would save you the step of running your raw files through Adobe's external DNG converter program.
