I�m afraid people are talking about different things here, Phos.
Obviously Photoshop would not be the programm for stuff like that, You seem to have applied Effect Transformations, Gradients, what have You.
The people recommending the psd-Pen-Tool surely don�t deny that that�s Illustrator�s domain, the basic functionalties of the Tool and Path-handling are what they are talking about (I guess).
Maybe I�m nor proficient enough in Illustrator, but I have for example not figured out how to make the Illustrator-Pen Tool on closing a Path honor the original Bezier Handles; either it converts the starting point into a corner point or I have to click and drag the Handles anew. I just prefer Photoshop�s way of closing the Path � obviously a matter of taste.
