The original CSS construction is more time consuming than an HTML design. So if we are talking about one off "build it and forget it" pages then I stick with HTML. But if this is for a major site that may require a little tweak that is on every page, then CSS is the way to go.

100% entirely false.... sorry to say.
An all HTML design is actually quite not possible, especially in today's world of tours and layouts.
I say that because tables were never meant for designs, they were meant for data organization... such as spreadsheets.
The only way to do many designs strictly in HTML is to have nested tables and that's very bad form. Especially in IE which requires the entire contents of the table to be downloaded before rendering any single part of it to the screen.
HTML is a markup language which is little more than a way to present information to the browser in lists, forms, tables and so on.
CSS is the styling tool that is used to make that information look good.
And if you begin creating your pages with CSS, it will take WAY less time than to do it strictly with HTML alone.... as you will require 1/3 or less HTML to accomplish your goals.
