Thanks for the replies.
I've been thinking about this some more and come up with a few pros and cons.
The dolly is more versatile because I could move the bike around as well as just being able to rotate it. Also I wouldn't have to stop in an exact position for the turntable (especially if I fixed it into the ground), because I could move the dolly under the centre stand.
The disadvantages with the dolly include that it's higher than the turntable, so it would be harder to get the bike onto it. Given I already have to stand on the centre stand peg and lift the bike up to get it in place, that could be an issue. Also the concrete on the floor of the shed isn't very smooth, so a dolly with small castor wheels may not move very smoothly and I don't want a wheel to get stuck if I'm moving the bike around and have it fall off!
The dolly is cheaper, although making up a cheap DIY turntable isn't out of the question.
Anyone got any other suggestions or comments?
