Yeah you are best off using your system in a manner which emphasizes  
its strengths and minimizes its weaknesses. There is tons you can do  
with untransformed differential photometry.

But let me hasten to add, you can play with this stuff, for fun, and  
do whatever the hell you want. You will learn stuff if you try to  
transform single bandpass observations. But like Dr. Newberry said,  
you won't be improving them.
