It's really a case of "needs must". I don't use the MRC compression facility in PDF Pro unless I really have to, e.g. for attachments to this forum. For my own purposes I scan to .png (or .jpeg for pictures with no or minimal text), then tidy up the individual documents before creating the uncompressed .pdf. If needs be, the individual documents can be size-reduced before .pdf creation. E.g., often text-only .png scans are just fine with conversion to black-and-white, which reduces their size immesnsely.
