Rotary vs Coil tattoo machines for detailed soccer crest work?

Been testing a few rigs on the new FC Barcelona crest design. The fine lines in the shield and the Gaudí-esque curves demand a machine that can balance precision with consistency. Wagner LPS 3000 rotary vs Carver Pro coil—both have their merits but the torque curve on the rotary makes shading in the lion's mane a nightmare unless you tweak the spring tension. Anyone else tackle the Bayern Munich crest? How'd you handle the negative space in the shield without overworking the skin? Also, what's the deal with the 7700 RPM limit on most machines when soccer logos often require high-density linework? I'm leaning toward a modified Pacifier setup but curious if the coil purists have a counterargument.
