They make for quick calculations, but counting individual hexes is just as good. A range ruler makes it even faster.
After fighting with different scenarios, image editors, I'm thinking of just going with 1 hex = 1 hex thus the range ruler counts hexes. Then I'll use hcobb's suggestion of dividing by 5 rounding down to resolve range and hoping that whatever spells use MH will translate in such a way I'm not having to jump through hurdles (or maybe I'll make a template sort of like Savage Worlds if it's something that comes up often.)

Onward to building the bestiary and compendium out.
