Optimize 3D models: Atangeo Balancer

Hi atangeo

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I've just started working with MoI (3D modelling) with the intention of modelling some jewellery pieces that I will then get printed at shapways (3D printer)
Shapeways have a limit of 64MB file size and recommend max 1 million polygons.

Would balancer be a good tool for reducing polygons for simple surfaces areas? so I can "save" polygons for high detail areas?

Does anyone here know if Wavefront (.obj) is a good format to use a shapeways, I've been using stl sofar?

Cheers, steve
