Here's also a quick look at how you can blend disparate shapes...



The end result STILL has some stresses in the surface, but I chose a pretty large gap. You could use smaller gaps to get better blends. I also used extreme values. where we went from .145 to 1!

Also, the starting shape, doesn't lend itself to "beautifully melted transforms". that shape could be adjust to get a more organic look, if that's what someone wanted.

Anyway, This was just an add.... your model looks good AS IS!
