What I was trying to figure out is is it worth it to figure out the style guide or figure out how to make ePub. You learn the style guide, you're stuck with SW. You learn ePub, you're a lot more open to what you can do.
Well, no, it didn't take me several weeks to go from Word to Sigil. It took me an hour to go from writing in Word to writing in Sigil.

It took me several weeks to realize that Word was more trouble than it was worth.

And none of this changes the fact that I doubt the OMG BOOK style guide guarantees a perfect ePub in the same way that hand-tweaking it can.
