Aperture has a lot better "spotting" (healing) at least for me. It picks out the source automatically. In LR, I have to chose a source and then heal. But this is only an issue for scanned negatives. I don't usually do much to images directly from a digital camera. I never did learn the advanced features of Photoshop. Lightroom suited me just fine in that kind of work. Aperture is cheap, but not really good at keeping up with RAW formats. I like that DNG from Adobe.
