Mind you, I wouldn't take those example solutions as a guide to how it's done. Last time I checked, the style was terrible. I hope they revised them, because as they where a few years ago, they shouldn't pass.
If you feel comfortable with a state machine, use a state machine.
Weibe, every one of those example solutions is a tweaked version of a real Examinees passing submission. They are not intended to show 40/40 and intentionally leave in find findable point deductions.
Discussions about those issues are some of the best threads on the certification board.
