That's what I usually do, and I feel you're right about the level of demand. C1 is very good at tethering, not least because it simply has to be strong in this niche.

I am not sure what this comment means? Does this suggest that it is inferior to LR/ACR at its other core feature e.g an application for processing raw digital files from digital cameras? That is a matter of opinion as far as I am concerned.
Processing of raw data from digital cameras has its benefits in that there are multiple applications that utilise different processes and "recipes" for producing the results that appeal to the user, there is no best, accurate, correct etc. In the film days you had the choice of the likes of Agfa, Kodak, Fujifilm, and many other brands.
