DataFrame more efficient than RDD?

Hi,

I have been working a bit with RDD, and am now taking a look at DataFrames.
The schema definition using case classes looks very attractive;

https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.4.0/sql-programming-guide.html#inferring-the-schema-using-reflection
<https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.4.0/sql-programming-guide.html#inferring-the-schema-using-reflection>  

Is a DataFrame more efficient (space-wise) than an RDD for the same case
class?

And in general, when should DataFrames be preferred over RDDs, and vice
versa?
