Fortunately, bulk editing in ACR also has global adjustments, copy settings, save user presets, etc. So I can easily apply one picture's setting to however many that are similar. Does lightroom has all the tools that ACR has, such as the radial filter, the adjustment brush to make selective adjustments to parts of an image (masking and adjust?) I presume it should, in that case maybe I will give it a try when my workload gets less busy in late fall.
Regarding processing power, the general consensus seems to be that probably the best processor for PS and ACR is one that has high clock speed and is at least 4-core. Most ACR/PS actions fail to utilize more than 4 cores at full power, there are actions that only utilize 1 core. But most utilizes between 3 and 5 fully, then often "disregard" the additional cores. So that's why often a 6-core but slower clock speed 5930 may score a bit lower than the 6700K. That's why I picked the i7-6700K for my current processor. The older 4790K is great too, just a bit slower for ACR/PS (mostly unnoticeable) but is only limited to 32gb max RAM. the 1151 6700K can do 64.
Now for video rendering and other applications that can utilize all cores, the more the better.

As far as I'm aware it's got all the tools. I've always found LR to be nicer environment than trying to do things with ACR.
You're definitely on the money with low core/high frequency. LR just doesn't seem to be able to benefit from cores like you'd hope it could.

This above link was a terrible test, it tells you nothing about what to expect in real life, but rather is a shot of a low DR scene exposed to nearly nothingness, and brought back up in post. That provides zero usefulness at least to me when I am shooting sports or weddings or portraits.

I assume that a high DR scene (that the shooter felt required an extreme shadow push) would function in the same way (in the lower stops) as the above low DR scene underexposed. Thus the test is valid for looking at what happens in the lower stops - albeit on the face of it a pointless thing to do with that scene.
