> would it have looked worse had it been created using CGI?
I think so. Just watch the latest Mission Impossible and then watch the latest Indiana Jones. The difference is obvious. You don't even need a huge budget to do a better job with practical effects: they just look better - watch How to Blow Up a Pipeline for a great thriller done on a budget with little CGI.
