Hexagon does not allow for the super accurate line profiles as Amapi does. SubD modeling is a matter of hitting the smooth button until things are smooth. In Amapi, a curve is always going to be curve they way you want it. Plus Amapi has the much better snapping of points and lines.
No boolean is worth using in Hexagon.
As far as modeling something in Hexagon that people won't say does not look right... Don't try to model a well known car or person the first time to you use the program. Model an unknown person or car. I have to use Amapi Pro if I'm modeling something everyone has seen a million times.
Some people can do exact modeling with SubD. They take a hit in poly count though. The positive is that they can then add dings to their model using modo or ZBrush by painting them in, since the model is hi-res enough.
