Thank you both for the prompt replies!
It sounds to me like neither of you is disappointed with Raw editing within Lightroom, but each of you finds it necessary to use other processing as well, either Photoshop or the Google Nik collection.
Since I am comfortable (almost) with Photoshop I will continue to use it. (but will research the Google/Nik products) The decision I would like to make soon is whether to continue using Bridge/ACR for raw processing or to switch to Lightroom. Lightroom does seem to have a couple of database tools that make identifying and locating images easier, but the advantage to Bridge/ACR is that I am familiar and comfortable with it. So it is comforting to know that you each find the Lightroom raw processing to be acceptable.
The Sony I bought is not the latest and greatest: It's the NEX-6 but it's late enough and great enough for me! It provides me with a smaller, lighter alternative to my Canon 5D for carrying on my bicycle or in a backpack.
