Whitewater25 -
I agree with you - you need both for different tasks..
When I lived in the Pacific Northwest, I ran into one of the Best Boat Detailers in that entire area, and he and his crew use Nothing but Rotary Power on all the boats they Detail..
He told me they need the absolute power of direct drive, the rpm`s, and the reliability of a Rotary with only 1 moving part and laughed when Companies sent them
Random Orbitals to test out for them... They would bring them to me and I would test them and tell them what I thought..
Boat Detailers that work all year like these guys routinely kill all Rotary machines as well - it`s the result of grinding on gelcoat for days at a time...
And here I am running my Makita up from soft-start 600rpm to slowly and thoroughly massage the pad, product, and the paintwork together so they are very happy when done...
After doing a few Aircraft, I just knew I would never want to Detail a dang boat either... Rotary or not... It`s just too much real estate...
