Lightroom VS Capture One

I know this is somewhat a "loaded" posting however I find there are advantages using Lightroom v.2 over Capture One v4.8 however I still feel that C1 produces a better quality in within the RAW process when it comes to my p45+ files, yet LR has a more simple workflow. I'm curious as to what others think. I also found this interesting article where the individual uses both programs bringing in the best of both worlds.

  here is a simple way for a windows (XP) :
  
  1) create a text file (batch file) w/ one line
  
  "C:\Program Files\Phase One\Capture One 4\CaptureOne.exe" "%~dpn1.PEF"
  
  replace .PEF w/ the extension of your raw files, I used .PEF just because I have Pentax dSLR
  
  %~dpn1 will be expanded into the full path and file name of the file passed as a command line parameter w/o extension
  
  2) download a free batch to exe compiler from http://www.f2ko.de/English/index.php - I guess LR requires .exe file to be used as an external editor
  
  3) compile the batch file to exe file
  
  4) use the resulting .exe file as an external "editor" in LR - it will start C1 w/ the raw file name as a parameter while LR will be thinking that it passed a .TIFF to an editor and later pickup the .TIFF generated by C1 back...
  
  I think this will work, I do not have LR, so I can't test that myself...
  
  PS (updated on 2009-11-25): actually we can delete the .tiff file first - something like this :
  
  del "%~f1"
  call "c:\Program Files\Phase One\Capture One 5\CaptureOne.exe" "%~dpn1.pef"
