SolidWorks Surfacing

(OP)
In previous versions of SolidWorks, I had learned to make a 'dome' with SolidWorks Surfacing - now there's this handy-dandy 'dome' feature. It's been around for several years, I think. What would the harm being using this 'dome' feature now? (It certainly is easier.)

RE: SolidWorks Surfacing

No harm, or it wouldn't be still there.
It depends on the shape of the dome. In surfacing you may generate a cleaner dome tangent to the other surfaces.
