Nathan, 

I think that Nik has smoother color to bw adjustments than ps or lr.

I don’t use presets, I have my own presets and actually I adjust it manually, I usually put “Structure” maximum between 10 and 20, normally about 10 or something more. It is useful too for very slight toning, at least is what I do, However many times I compare the picture with Silver Efex Pro 2 and not and I keep the unprocessed one.
