What suits better if both ways result in the same thing?
At least CSG was much easier.

Hm. maybe I am wrong but look at the girdle: the bows caused by the round
shape beeing cut by plain facets. This is created very easily by simply
cutting a cylinder (which is in fact more realistic to the real creation
process). Modelling this with a mesh while considering different proportions
and cut-types is not that easy (but of course not impossible).

However, having enough from macros that parse a whole day I did this
quick-cut using a CSG instead of modelling as a mesh. Feel free to make a
mesh of it....
