Dominik, If you want to deal with bigger data sets in a fast and more flexible way I strongly suggest to use GRASS7. Rgrass7 provides a very good "r-ish" wrapper to use it from R. If You are interested i 'll post a typical setup and example for your question. Please note you need obligatory a GRASS 7 installation on your system.
