Thanks!
I have 8 from last years give-away, but never really got into it. 9 has the PRIME engine and a plugin for a much smoother integration with Lightroom, so it might be in with a chance.
Holy slowness though, it took 7 minutes for me to export a single image back to Lightroom using the PRIME engine... I don't do much high-ISO shooting, but I'll keep at it to see if it's worth it. For the price of free, the only cost is time and it's not like I need to watch the bar go across while it's processing
