Quick thing to note.
Aperture uses your graphics card to render all the previews, edits etc.
Lightroom uses your CPU.
This is why on my macbook, lightroom works like a charm and aperture is deathly slow. On a macbook pro or any other intel mac, aperture works beautifully - I've used it, and i loved it. Possibly more than lightroom.
There was not much choice involved for me, as i just cannot work with Aperture on my macbook.
