Lightroom and Photoshop, IMO are not comparable products...
LR is more of a cataloging/quick editing program, with photoshop being used for more in depth processes (any real degree of cloning, cutting out and various other processes)
What LR is is a very efficient batch processing tool, with a build in database of all of your images. Much quicker to do basic edits in than opening each image into PS (save batch processing).
One compliments the other

Personally, I think Lightroom is a revelation, and anyone with a DSLR and even the slightest interest in processing their images should give it a go.
I'd say download the 30 day Lightroom 2 trial rather than the Beta of Lightroom 3.
Can't wait for Lightroom 3 retail, but the Beta is slow and crashes lots on my (non-humble) PC

I have both CS3 Extended and Lightroom 2.6. I find I use Lightroom more than anything else now. Cropping, highlights, Exposure etc. If your a togger and need to make a choice I would highly recommend LR.
As Matt says, its much better for batch images and it has a good import/export tool. The one feature I really like about it is the Slide show. You can set up a slide show of all your processed images, put on a watermark and play it to clients. I use it on my laptop to show newly weds and let them pick the images they wish to have process/printed. Saves a load of time pre-printing and looks very proffesional. Your laptop becomes a travelling album and portfolio.
