  Well, if it's a question of principle, then be my guest.

  However, if the final image will look almost exactly the same independently
of whether a normal modifier or an isosurface was used, then my opinion is
that small and simple is beatiful.

  Rendering speed may be another issue. Which one renders faster, a spiral
normal modifier or an isosurface?
  I haven't tested, so I can't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if the
isosurface would be slower.
