Colour is the largest group, as it includes all aspects, Shading, Blending, Saturation or Packing, and I find most adjustable Rotaries can carry out most of these tasks,but, some of the more Punchier Rotaries with no-give, make the best Saturation or Packing Machines...Shit I sound so Anal...
Dude I follow the exact same guidelines... I find that if it can line it can probably do everything else pretty well, but yeah it's about finding the right machine for each use for your technique. That said I find most rotaries are a lot more versatile and user friendly than coils, and definitely more idiot-proof. It took a looooong time to understand what little I know about coils
