Somebody has a nurbs bias issue... Do not underestimate the capabilities of Wings3D... (Or any comparable subdiv modeler.)

When it comes down to the nitty gritty, there is no modeling method that is completely superior to another. What it really comes down to is what method suits you best at a personal level. And the only way to find that out is to give each an honest shot.
