Try a 3M or a Flex rotary and then jump to a Silverline and you'll see why it's 1/8th the price.

What's this issue with the Silverline? Is it because it's just one speed and could be a bit harsh in the wrong hands?

A machine that isn't a DA is more likely to burn through your paint if too much pressure is applied, and excess heat can occur, where as the DA will rotate backward and foward at any speed that you've set , and won't burn through or mar the paintwork as easy...That's my understanding of it.

There's nothing "wrong" with it. It's just a cheap machine. So heavy, noisy and a lot of vibration...
The "danger" was with regards to rotary polishers (or direct drive Dual actions) rather than a normal dual action which, if you tip the polisher onto one side or apply too much pressure, would stop rotating, the rotary or direct drive dual action would continue to spin which increases the risk of burn through. As well as that there is extra heat generated which due to the DA's motion range, would be dissipated over a wider area.
