@Alex_J : well you're in for a treat once you'll discover the Flatten brush, which is by far the best out of all sculpting apps out there *and* has the option to perfectly conform to the initial normal, producing perfectly flat facets.
It's not that good, unless it's taken some huge strides since last time I saw it. The voxel sculpting is really convenient, but lacks clarity, unless you go high res in which case you'd have similar problems to just starting at a high dynamesh res. Means you get a similar feeling at times, but you don't get the convenience…
