Because the vocabulary estimate just means the number of hours required to learn the words, the method is irrelevant. Was it near my 450 estimate and do you think you knew 13000 distinct words at the end of it?
As I said above, it took me 330h. And yes, I believe I had exposure to that amount roughly. It's hard to tell because of all the different word forms. The main difference is that with reading I had exposure to sentences from native content though with a broader context and grammar. If you had 13,000 sentences in your deck it would be similar, although you still won't know whether the words you're learning are actually relevant to your future needs. In any case, whatever works for you! I just wouldn't be able to keep up 450h of SRS. Reading for 330h is how I would like to spend my time anyway.
