Before converting, go into the display settings and enable "border edges." This will make borders slighty thicker then other edges. If you see borders in the middle of your mesh where they should not be, then you probably need to reverse the normals or merge some vertices. Another thing to be watchful for is the "keep faces together" option which can sometimes cause similar results for extrusions later coverted to subDs.

Nope, just a plain old forum member like you. Good to see you got it worked out.
