FYI, the same lens correction profiles that are in Phocus, are also in Lightroom. Hasselblad provided them to Adobe.
Phocus can often provide better color correction, and I especially like the color wheel cast correction tool once you learn how to use it. Phocus is also better for tethered shooting IMO.
LR has a distinct advantage in cataloging, and that any RAW correction you make is non-destructive once saved in a catalog. The other advantage is very powerful local adjustments available in LR, and the ability to add plug-ins (like Nik Silver Efex Pro-II) without leaving the Lightroom software.
I had always hoped that Hasselblad would provide the option of saving Phocus corrections as a DNG file (like you can do in LR). Saving as a 16 bit tiff is the best you can do, which locks in the RAW corrections.
In the end, only you can determine which to use when. When I was processing lower volume commercial work, I almost always used Phocus. For higher volume jobs or personal work I used LR and maybe would select a few images to bring into Phocus for critical color work.
