You get what you pay for. This is like saying you can get round the Nurburgring on a bicycle, why would you want a Ferrari?
DXO does the vignetting, CA and NR automatically, and applies different sharpness adjustments across the image according to the response map for that particular lens, body and capture settings, making it much faster to use than even LR.
I know it's horses for courses and all that, but I am running a trial of LR 3.2 at the moment and unless I am missing something (quite possible) then DXO and my old favourite Bibble, knock spots off of LR for speed, especially applying the same settings to a whole batch of images - something I will often want to do. I can't see how to apply the same setting to a selection of images in LR, I have to do one at a time. In DXO and Bibble you just select a batch and copy the lot.
This week I took a number of underwater pictures in a pool. Fixing them in DXO took a few moments work on one image and then copy the settings to the remaining 30 or so others.
As an aside, dos anyone know how to access individual colour channel curves in LR? It seems to just have RGB all lumped together.
