Do you have proper UV-Coordinates :-? And if I'm right, the RS UV-Coordsys is linear, but the SDS surface is not linear, if set to smoothen to nurbs. I get very often unsmooth curves, while baking textures, or strange results with per face mapping, at the borders of different materials.
The Map2Object tool can maybe give better results, because it's using it's own coordsys and not the UV-coordsys :-? But: If you have proper UVs, it should be not to hard to get a useful result with SDS.
