Ron, converting a lower bitrate mp3/AAC file to lossless will garner you no improvement, resulting in nothing more than the same file at a much larger size.

If the CDs you're importing are burned CDs from MP3s, then importing them again seems a waste, though there could be some improvement. Do you have access to the original MP3's? Those would sound identical to your lossless rips and be much more compact.
