As mentioned in another thread, learning to use the pen tool doesn't happen over night, but things worth doing are never easy. If I was to tackle this with the pen, I would think 20-30 mins would be about the length of time it would take.

I think it is because so many people find the pen very daunting, that lesser methods are used so much. And also there is an element of, how exact to need to be. Although other methods may suffice, I always use the pen for such jobs, because it is a more precise form of selection.
