For what you have shown here, you would not even need smart resym. You could basically do the same thing you have shown with just mirror and then mirror and weld.

I find it useless most of the time because it doesn't work if you used dynamesh after the symmetry was turned of, 3D coat will Make a symmetrical model regardless of topology ;) Well most software will do so, but this is one of zbrush's weaknesses
