Yes, LR is better on manual lens correction options and having a history palette. C1’s purple fringing just isn’t enough for some lenses; for example, tilt-shift in my experience.
Also, LR’s incorporation of X-Rite’s camera calibration software as a fully-fledged plugin into LR Classic, and which works superbly, is something Phaseone could take note of.
That said, the expanded HDR panel in C1 20 is worth the upgrade alone. I feel like my 5D MkIV has an extra stop of DR.

I have to say I have become more familiar to C1 the last days... thanks to the excellent webinars and videotutorials...
and must correct it is not as fast as LR in developing RAWs, it is, and in some cases 2x as fast on my computer. I guess it depends on the type of corrections .
Also i have learned that you can remove spots easely from every photo by making it a style... (the spotless style)
So there is much to like indeed. It is almost a raw converter, a damm and a photoshop replacement in one package. Maybe it will be in future.
Even RAWculling works fast- It is a pity not all the good stuff from Media pro is incorporated.
So what stands is the lack of corrections for many good lenses... - like Sigma's ART etc...
Yes i can make my very own, but then it is much more hassle make and to apply , (but they will be personal-perfect)
and i would appreciate the possibility to make layers containing different photos. - as in Photoshop.
All in all I find it far more refined than LR and tailored to professional photographers needs.
Just missed the BlackFriday deals, but there will be others...
