How Come X-E1 IQ Lags Behind Many Others In Studio Shooting?

I've been closely following the X-Pro 1 (and X100 and X-E1) since the X-Pro 1 was released.  I shoot exclusively raw with my current cameras (Canon 1Ds2 and Panasonic GF-1) and process with Adobe Camera Raw.  Two questions: (1) Because Fuji apparently knows how to process the X-Pro 1 and X-E1 raw data into wonderful jpegs, isn't it just a matter of time before Lightroom/ACR or some other raw processing software can, too?  (2) Is it reasonable to shoot raw plus jpeg with the Fujis, process the raw to tiff through Silkypix (or whichever raw converter is doing the best job), then move the tiff into Lightroom/ACR (or whatever you prefer)?
