I was reading the Leica press release of the M8.2 and part of it addressed the raw data converter C1 ver 4. It says this:
"Use of raw data in DNG format using Capture One 4 software The Capture One 4 professional raw data converter ensures that raw data supplied by the CCD sensor and saved in the in the future-proof Adobe® Digital Negative (DNG) format is “developed” in the best
possible quality. Leica worked in conjunction with the Danish software company Phase One to create the sophisticated camera profiling and make the necessary software modifications. The results are quality-optimized algorithms for digital color processing, allowing
exceptionally low-noise photography with incredible resolution. The development of the finest tonal value steps from the 16-bit image delivered by the CCD sensor is comparable to the picture quality achieved by a professional combination of film and specialist laboratory
development. The logical functions for adjusting the quality and the clear user interface allows the user to quickly master the use of Software Capture One 4 to create outstanding results."

My question is I'm currently use LR almost exclusively, occasionally round tripping to CS3. To get the maximum out of my m8.2 files should I first do my RAW conversions out of C1 v4, then import to LR for local corrections, tweaking and printing?
