Elements and Lightroom - working together

Question

Since I shoot virtually all my images in RAW format I've been playing with Lightroom as I find Elements RAW processing a little cumbersome.
I've worked out a process that suits me although it could still do with some refining, so I thought I'd share what I'm doing with you and if you are doing something similar maybe you can share your experiences.
I think Lightroom is an excellent Post Processor for RAW, JPEGs and PSDs. Its not a full Editor but that doesn't concern me as I can call upon Photoshop to do this if needed. What it does lack in my opinion is as good an Organiser as Elements.
For RAW images already in Elements Organiser...
1. Locate folder and Import into the Lightroom Library but with the images managed in the existing folder.
2. Process the images and choose to have the XMP files stored with the image.
3. Assign the exact same Keyword as the Organiser Tag(s)
4. Export the processed images in PSD format back to the original folder
5. Since this is an Organiser watched folder it picks up the new PSD files and puts them against the right Tag(s).
6. Remove the RAW orignals from the Organiser ( note: not deleted from hard drive)
For new RAW images.....
1. Download into a specific Lightroom folder that is not watched by the Elements Organser
2. Process the images and choose to have the XMP files stored with the image.
3. Assign Keywords that will be used as the Tag(s) in the Organiser
4. Export to an Organiser watched folder.
5. Organiser picks up the new images and imports the keywords as Tags.
6. Re-position the Imported Tags as appropriate.
This way I don't clutter the Organiser with all the RAW images. It doesn't create version sets of RAW + Processed but hopefully in the final release of Lightroom, Version sets may be available.
That's the story so far

Sorry if you already know this and it just didn't work for you.  To add elements (which plays well with my LR) go to the edit tab, open preferences and click on external editing.  There you will see a section for "additional external editor."  Set up PSE and save it as a preset..... should open just fine.  Also regarding the help, my LR help always shows PSE as well.  However, there is a little section next to PSE which I can click on to get other alternatives.....unfortunately, I don't get LR4, just help from LR3....but usually close enough.
