Using Sigil, I already have an external style sheet that matches the styles I've created and used in Word. When I bring the html file into Sigil, I just delete the entire style section from the document, link to the external style sheet, and I'm 90% done.

That is a lot of work. You still have to clean up each XML file. They can also be a mess. The idea of using a default CSS is a good one. The just create any styles needed that are not in the default CSS. But it's a lot easier (IMHO) to use a good text editor and work in that and then make the eBook from the marked up text. Notepad++ & Sigil both have spellcheckers. So you might not need Word at all.
Using your method, how much cleaning up do the XML files need?
