have lightroom 2, have never been impressed with it. I mean, it's ok, but i end up using iphoto just as often if not moreso. runs faster than LR

And I don't believe it is an asset management thing. Maybe one other tool in that suite, but the ad in Pop Photo (inside front cover for September), sure sold it as a photo management solution, so that you would have an accurate catalog of files, regardless of on C, D, DVD or removable drives. Made no mention of anything website related whatsoever.
