Yes. I prefer to use static quotes in some documents, dynamic in the
other.
There is even the need for dynamic and static quotes within the same
document. If I need different quote styles within one document (e.g.,
English style within English quotations within a German document), I
need to use static quotes. Nevertheless I could still need to use a
dynamic type for the main quotes. The latter lets me switch from
inverted commas to guillemets (or vice versa) if my publisher requests
this.

Also note that an LFUN change is all but user friendly. This would hide
the dynamic quotes from most users.
