I'm not familiar with Calibre, and I'm sure there are several tools to convert from epub to mobi.
If all that is desired is to produce a readable mobi document, they will suffice.
However, if the goal is to produce a publishable document meeting Amazon spec's and the Kindle Publishing Guidelines, then the mobi document should be created using Kindlegen, and that is a hand-built process, which is certainly slower and more difficult than using a conversion utility.
I certainly bow to JSWolf's superior knowledge and experience, and will put Calibre on my growing list of things to investigate in the world of e-book publishing.

It sounds like Kindlegen is just a slightly modified MobiGen. If the goal is to use it to convert to Mobipocket, then yes, Calibre can do this quite well and do so a lot easier.
