Blends are another way of creating bitmap-like effects, both by blending the fill within a shape, and blending from one shape to another.

I think I missworded my original post, when I said "The real downside to vector versions is that it's impossible to use photographs or photographic textures to texture the surface of a model." What I should have said is: you can use photographic textures but that then destroys the scaleability of the vector model, because the bitmaps don't scale well and become pixelated when you try to upscale them.
