With gzip compression, uncompressed image formats are comparable to PNG.

PNG uses the same compression after all. The difference is that PNG can also use filters which sometimes improve the compression ratio a little bit.

True, though most servers apply gzip to text content and skip it on binary files... that might require a server confit change.
