I can count on one hand the number of times the "one off, localized" procedure actually stayed thus. More oft than naught (not), the one off becomes your daily task, and that "fast" one-time way becomes not so fast, and not so cool (as they usually tend to ask for more, once they see see how fast and easy it was for you to accomplish said one-off). Do it right the first time, if possible, even if it takes a bit longer. I'm totally down with your basic premise tho-- if it's going to take "too long" to do it better, go with what you know. I'm just saying, beware the long tail, ja know? -- There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.
