Well the main advantage of the rotary is the amount time needed to polish. However in the case of very hard clear coats a rotary is by far the best method. Although you can get an aggressive combo with a DA and do the same corrections with more time.

Basically the difference between the two is the balance of time vs. risk of damage. A rotary has faster correction time with a higher risk of damage, whereas a DA has a lower risk of damage but takes more time. Hope this helps.
