Not really at all.
Is coil working worse (shorter sparks) ?
It might be apparent for a very large coil, which may need an extensive

Definately.

Highly improved quenching of the arc--its ability to extinguish the spark

Generally, any coil will function better with a rotary gap. But bear in
mind that they are very stressful on neon sign transformers, and at that,
only AC sunchronous rotary gaps should be used with NSTs at all.
