Nice! Think i even like your version a little more ;-) Only nit-pik is the curvature continuity for the bowl is really obvious on 9 and 11.
Right, I think I know what you mean; as the bowl and the neck come together? I probably could've brought that into Zbrush for some polishing to break up the edges at that connection point.
