I'm not an expert in the field, but I would think with it's ability to drive compressive stresses to 12mm and it's manual application via a handheld tool, rather than a robotic device, it would be more effective in terms of cost and time. I'm not sure if you're familiar with UIT or not. If not, there's a video at http://www.appliedultrasonics.com that explains it. I'd like to get an expert's opinion on how ultrasonic impact treatment compares to peening applications for surface treatment.
