It sounds like your question and over-all perspective is purely=20 functional.

My standard answer is that if you do not have a serious = desire to=20 experiment and a preference for something different under the = cowl, =20 *** do not even think of using a rotary or any other = alternative=20 engine *** .

If the urge to experiment and cost is not a = big=20 factor, go buy an O - 540 and enjoy flying that RV-10!
