Hi Krinkle, thanks for working on the script, I hope you'll keep helping out :-)
The reason I'm not using the direct thumb.php route is that it only accepts thumbnail width, not height. So, an image that is, say, 300x900, will be thumbnailed as 120x360, which is not really pretty in a row 120px high. The API call allows me to specify both maximum width and height, thus guaranteeing the thumbnail to fit into the row height. I guess the API call is a small price to pay.
