I've gone the subscription route, and possibly the most important element for me is the updates, which are at no further cost. The fact that the bundle includes Photoshop and not PSE makes something of a difference: I started with PSE5 and worked all the way up to PSE10, so I probably spent as much on upgrades as PSCC will cost me over several years. I barely use Lightroom, have never got comfortable with it after buying the first release: my organizer is my folder/file system, adequately backed-up. You do have more processing features in PSCC than PSE, so I'd consider it well worthwhile.

Lr comes with a superb organizer (I also use year/month but then I keyword) and it’s about as good as anything for post-processing; a *lot* better than PSE.
