As explained in http://blog.anands.net/2008/08/07/camera-profiles-beta-in-lightroom-20/, I started to compare camera profiles for Nikon D300 in LR 2.0 and NX.
Here is a comparison for a landscape image, shot earlier in 2008 in Yosemite National Park.
NX camera standard
LR Camera Standard
NX Neutral
LR Neutral
NX Vivid
LR Vivid
NX D2X Mode1
LR D2x Mode 1
NX D2X Mode 2
LR D2x Mode 2
NX D2x Mode 3
LR D2x Mode 3
LR Landscape
My verdict. It is very close again. I really do not see much difference in using either LR and NX now.

I returned from a 5 day trip to Juneau and Sitka, Alaska this week.
I have uploaded photos to my blog and gallery.

Arvind suggested [in the comments] I try Active D-Lighting for high contrast scenes with the D300.
Yes, it makes a huge difference.
First, the photo edited through LR with the default settings:
Edited through lightroom:
The same photo edited through Capture NX with default settings:
Edited through Capture NX.
Capture NX and D300 handle high contrast scenes very very well with Active D-Lighting set to on.
