The difference is huge but that's not to say that you couldn't have had either look from either file.
There is obviously more detail here in the RAW version but the high contrast in in the jpeg could be masking detail that's still there.
The thing about processing is that the more choices you give yourself, the more sure you need to be of the look you want before you start.
Perhaps if it's direction and inspiration that your seeking, one of those threads where you host a RAW file somewhere on the web and invite folks to process to their tastes and list what they've done. Then you can see some alternatives and take the bits you like from each.

Ray, the first one, to my eyes, is brighter, more colourful and has more detail in the clouds than the second, also less noise in the clouds. I'd say that, if you hadn't said, the first was the raw. Those would sell me on raw (if I wasn't already sold that is 
)
)Right thank you, please can you tell me what flat means

The colour balance is an obvious difference between the shots and is an area that raw really allows you more scope for play. It's up to you which you think is best but the jpeg colour balance would have been set in camera while the raw file can be adjusted to suit.
Brightness and colour saturation are also slightly different but here you've got more options to adjust the jpeg file as well.
Are you trying to ask whether it's worth shooting in raw? I do for the flexibility it gives me and because I've accepted that any photo needs a small degree of processing to make it look it's best - the difference is that with raw I decide what processing is needed and can experiemtn while in jpeg it's fixed at what the camera is setup to do.
