[Lord Dakoth]

I just discovered the ramp method... after digging a 30x30 area out by channeling, 13 z-levels. One row at a time. I facepalmed so hard that I saw stars. That was of course worthy of another facepalm, but I decided against it.

The cave in method is probably the easiest to do at first, because it's almost impossible to accidentally do something in the wrong order.  However when you channel the top edge and cave it in, the floors under that edge will stay attached to the cliff face.  This is useful for smoothing but difficult to get rid of (have to channel one piece at a time, zzz).  So combine it with the staircase method - the edge of your area should be up/down stairs, the rest mined normally, and when you do the cave in you'll have ready-made scaffolding to smooth and engrave the cliff.

[The Architect]

Oh God, let this topic die!

No, the method suggested for the cave-in avoided that problem. Please let this die! He's happy with the answers.
