C1 vs PS CS in terms of quality!

[Denmark]

I have become seriously interested in C1. I have not tried out the trial version yet, but would like to know what people out there think about the C1 in terms of picture quality compared to PS CS?

My experience: If you look at the colours, contrast etc.: the Adobe Camera Raw converter often makes the images look a little flat and low contrast (at least the images of my 10D...). Images from Capture One have better colour and contrast "out of the box".

I like C1's default colors a bit more but I'm learning PS CS better and I believe that it will (eventually) do a better job. (Eventually = when I learn it fully.)

The choice between the two, IMHO, is more one of workflow style. Which suits you better?

Also note that PS CS's Chromatic Aberration correction tool can be priceless...
