rotary styles came from the dirt world and supposedly have a dead space in the middle where they dont really damp. pistons have typically come from the superbike ilk. lotta guys racing with both though

I've put more than 40k in street and track miles with a rotary and never noticed a dead spot.

To be honest, what he told me what info that he has heard from some of his other friends that ride and that have had the rotary style (not sure if they were Scotts or not). He, just like I, has no personal experience with them, only the piston type.

I would really like to try a rotary type myself, as it just seems like a much cleaner instal.
