Herman gave a viable answer in his last post.
I'd just like to add that I wouldn't let any bias against looping
stand in the way of advancing an idea. So few ideas have any real
promise that the sooner you can get something up and tested the
better.
You can always refine the code later. Even then, there is a lot to be
said for code that reads well (to you) vs. code that performs well. If
after a month's time you find yourself again struggling to decipher
the code, then you might have been better off going with a more
familiar construct.
