It may seem fast, but I'm still only running at not even a 100th of the speed that you can work, however a key to my apparent speed is my use SolidWorks (SW) to do a lot of the grunt design work before dragging it into the time sucking black hole that is Max, even the above square pen was made easier by creating a model in SW that was then imported into Max, this I could then use as a template to adjust the existing V shaped pen's vertices.
Given that SW is probably the better 3D design program, your workflow makes loads of sense! There's loads of animation and rendering stuff in 3ds Max that's overkill for static objects.
