UISplitViewController Vs Custom Made Views...

Question

Hi everyone,

I have an app in the iPhone that is something like that is a Home Screen when you click a button and you go into a Navigation Controller with Master Detail table views.

I want to transfer the app to iPad and was looking at UISplitView controller and find out that must be in the main window and the first thing displayed when running the app.

So my question is,

Sould I use the UISplitViewController with a modal view to display the homescreen, and just by clicking a button you dismiss the modal view or:

create the same functionallity using custom views and multiple table views so I will normally have the home screen then to push a Navigation Controller, and do whatever I want as I know ?

Which is the prefered method?

Thanks.
