So far, I use Aperture for all my convert ion and processing before I exported back to PS for the finishing touch.I consider to get LR. What is there that Aperture can do and LR can't and vise versa. Having both is it an over killing? Thanks.

It's very easy to click through presets and create custom looks based on combined presets, something that can't be done in LR, right? (Sorry, it's been since the LR3 beta since I played with it)

I have both and still can't make up my mind which one to use. I mostly use Aperture and export to PS as needed, but every once in a while I will use LR. I guess both have their merits so maybe it comes down to personal preference. I would be interested to know what everyone else thinks.
