WAV sounds awesome. MP3s suck on really high quality settings and a "reputable" encoding algorithm
What output ceiling are you using? Did you look at the mp3 ouput in an audio editor and/or do a clipping analysis? There is no limiting in the mp3 conversion, so unless your ceiling is at least -1 to -2 db, you're going to have clipping on transients.
