Martin,

That's what I do.  I scan in 16 bit.  I then adjust the image to 720 and do
my tonal corrections in 16 bit.  I then frequently convert to 8 bit for
dodging/burning, sharpening or to use another filter and then convert back
to 16 bit before I print.  I think you could also save the 720 to the end of
the workflow...if you wanted to minimize the crunch on your processor.
