Paragon/Renegade bonuses?

I remember reading somewhere that getting the Paragon/Renegade meters up to a certain point will give you invisible bonuses, such as marginally increased defense. Is this true, and if so, where can I find something that will explain the bonuses?

According the the strategy guide, filling the paragon bar 25% gives you 10% First Aid cooldown, filling 50% gives you 10% bonus health, and 75% gives you 5% shorter cooldown on all powers. 25% renegade gives you 10% weapon powers cooldown, 50% gives you 1 health regeneration per second, and 75% gives 5% damage/duration on all weapons and powers. You also get more dialogue options and discounts.

Paragon/Renegade choices will only affect your choices in Dialogues (Which is incentive enough if you care about the RPG aspects at all) and a very, very slight discount through the talent trees. If you were to get full bars in both, you could get about 12% discount. Not a big deal, considering there is more money thanyou can know what to do with by the end of the game.
