There seems to be a similar set of presets for LR as well...not sure how
they stack up against the competition:

Tina,
I thought silver efex 2 does have a film selection (or was it color
efex) in the right-side drop down menu, no? I like their u-point
technology for easier manipulation.
I have not used Alien Skin explosure 3 or lightroom, so can not
compare directly, but I do like Silver efex Pro 2 a lot.

With Silver Efex Pro you get lots of presets with different looks
- like infrared or sepia - and you have the U-point that Nik uses
for individual adjustments. It's faster and easier than
Lightroom; however, I've used both Silver Efex Pro 2 and Alien
Skin's Exposure 3. I find that I use Exposure 3 much more often.
With ASE3, you can choose actual films like Tri-X or Scala and
you get the look of that film complete with grain. It's really,
really good. It's faster, easier and better than LR.
Hope this helps.

Can any of you speak to the difference in bw conversion using
SEP2 vs Lightroom.
Can I achieve results with it that are different, faster,
better than what I can do in Lightroom?
I appreciate input from those using it.
