I'm a long time user of LyX and Scribus (well, Scribus is young but I started using it at version 0.3).
Like you said they are complementary, I insist. You won't use LyX for a DTP project, Scribus is perfect for a flyer or a project involving heavy graphics, the use of layers, etc.
LyX, on the otherhand, is perfect for a document, a book, a long document with plenty of cross references, hyperlinks, etc.
But you may mix both softwares in a final pdf project, merging the resulting files with pdftk. You then get the best of the two worlds<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-)
And don't forget to ajust LyX's preambule so that it contains the hyperref package for clickable hyperlinks in the pdf output.
