worth sculpting the whole thing?

spexel

I want to create this door for a game:


I was wondering if it's worth sculpting the whole thing or I better be just creating alpha's of all the details and paint them on the normal in substance painter?

The result should be pretty much the same, depend on which technique do you feel more comfortable with

using alpha help to fit the exact resoluion of your texture, but it feels that you have less control in the beginning.
