Better today's date formatted in supported API?

Question

Since "Use of NSCalendarDate strongly discouraged." prior to deprecation what is your preferred alternative to:
// NSCalendarDate *now;
// now = [NSCalendarDate calendarDate];
// [textField setObjectValue:now];
The following is obviously better from the point of view of end-user localization etc.
Is it what you do or do you do something as "good" for the end-user but less verbose?
From the API Reference:
"The format for these date and time styles is not exact because they depend on the locale, user preference settings,
and the operating system version. Do not use these constants if you want an exact format.
Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later."
[NSDateFormatter setDefaultFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_4];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init ] autorelease];
[dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
[dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
NSString *formattedDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
[textField setObjectValue:formattedDateString];
NSLog(@"Current date / time = %@", formattedDateString);
// Output like: "Current date / time = 6 Aug 2008 11:37:38"

I 'll assume this is the way to do it then!
