I think you should go for the rotary. Already having a UDM is good because you have some experience with machine polishing and if you ever feel unsure using the rotary you could always revert back to your UDM. I just got my Makita today and have been reading that Dave KG guide non stop and have learned quite a bit. I also went to my local bodyshop and picked up 3 dark panels to practice on, so far I am not that intimidated by the rotary, im gonna take it nice and slow and work my way up.
