I mostly made the trade since I process so many photos in lightroom after photographing an event that the extra cores and threads is so much time saved.
I had thought that I had read someone comment that Adobe Lightroom benefits more from faster cores, than more cores. IOW, Intel might have been a better choice for Lightroom, specifically.
Otherwise, welcome to the Ryzen club!
I just built an R7 2700 rig last month, 240mm AIO WC, DDR4-3600 GSkill RGB RAM, 2x 1TB Intel 660p M.2 NVMe SSDs in RAID-0, Asus ROG STRIX B450-F ATX mobo. Runs really sweet. Or at least, it did, until I blew a breaker with all of my PCs + my A/C. My two main rigs and my NAS units are all on battery backups, but the one the 2700 was plugged into, is old and worn out, and when the power went off, it went off too. Need to get another pure sine APC unit like my other ones.
Edit: Oh yeah, I manually OCed my R7 2700 to 4.0Ghz all-core. They have a lot of performance under the hood, but not at default settings, especially not the 2700, you really, really, need to do a manual OC on those CPUs in particular, IMHO, to wring maximum performance out of them. Then they are competitive performance-wise with a 2700X.
