Possibly a reason to upgrade on both platforms, though personally, i have never found a need for this feature.

I did a quick look at the link you gave. Apparently the instructions are for the PC versions of PSE. Unfortunately, certain features of PSE in the PC version are not carried over to the Mac version, i.e. there is no Mac equivalent to versions 5 or 7. I noticed that in comparing the different versions of PSE since version 4. I can not speak for any certainty regarding version 8 in both versions since I have not upgraded yet on either platform.

Lightroom is a photo editing catalogue program, it will fill all of your standard photographic needs but it does not have the pixel editing expect, the new one has that but very limited though, not so advance as elements or photoshop.
Aperture, I've never used that.

In Aperture also there is the non-destructive feature. Also PSE and Aperture can do the B&W conversion.

It would seem that way. I have Elements 4 and that definitely doesn't!
If you don't want to spend out on a new version of Elements just yet, how about this free work-around.
Download this PSD file, and save to your desktop. Now, every time you want to do this B&W conversion, just double-click the 'Actions.psd' file and it will open up in Elements. Then open the image you want to work on, view the two images at the same time using Window>Images>Tile from the menu bar.
Then just select the two adjustment layers from the 'Actions' image and drag them onto the image you want to play with, and then adjust them as necessary.
Does that make sense?
