I've played with both now (especially the last couple of days), and find edge extrusion and edge looping to give me a better looking, cleaner model, than box modeling. But I've heard so many people lately sing praises about box modeling, I was wondering if I was missing something. But with box modeling, my mesh becomes alot denser and doesn't seem to show the detail I like. I think I'll stick with edge. Thanks guys! VERY much appreciated.

I'm not saying it can't be done with box modeling, but with my existing workflow, I seem to have to go back later and clean the mesh up more, whereas I have more control during edge modeling. I realize its all personal and up to the individual. Edge just seemed to click more with me. Probably because I started with splines way back when...its a closer method to the stitching I'm used to.
