I never quite understood why people tend to think pistons are better for technical passages, ESPECIALLY considering the valvestroke on a rotary horn is generally half to one quarter that of a piston horn. My guess is that it's all psychological (...I've never had problems on rotary horns, and I'm a less-than-stellar player). Personally, I prefer rotary horns for a number of reasons, one of them being the short valvestroke, which make it easier FOR ME to play technical("fast") passages.

fwiw
