well i could help a little... Adobe makes photoshop and CS4 is the latest version, i think that Adobe also bought LR with in the last 4 years i think.
the problem for me is aperture and LR do all the things you want to do and they are both good software programs. as far as pricing goes... you need to either get a student friend or a friend that is good with computers in that way that is frowned upon by the above listed companies. other wise it looks like adobe Lr is running 300ish and apple aperture is running for 200ish it looks like adobe Lr is currently beta testing a newer version so that may not be the best buy right now.
