Two factors IMO:
The first is easy- you *need* the rotary, either for faster or more effective correction. If everything's fine without one (e.g., see ScottWax) then skip it. If you find you're spending too much time or not getting the marring out, then consider it. I got mine because I simply couldn't correct the Audis without spending hours per panel.
The second is a personal question that only you can answer: do you have the proper knowledge base and mindset? Rotaries are all about potential damage and there are a lot of factors that don't exist to any real degree with the PC (e.g., heat). You have to know what can/will happen if you do certain things and you have to work at doing *everything* properly all the time. There's a very narrow margin of error. People who get careless, distracted, fatigued, etc. had better be mighty careful with a rotary. OTOH, people who have the requisite knowledge base and the right mindset shouldn't have any problems at all...but even then [stuff] *does* happen and there's always the chance that you'll make a mistake that can only be fixed with a paintgun.
Get the rotary
