    An airbrush is nothing more than a tool. You can go to the flea market and buy a off brand wrench and have a very good chance of busting your knuckles
    or you buy a good quality wrench with a good warranty and have it serve you well for years.
    You get what you pay for as they say.

    Same with an airbrush. A good quality airbrush is made of better materials, the needles bend far less easy, ect.

    Just personal pref. with the color cup hanging off the side of the airbrush it feels un balanced to me, the airbrush wants to roll to the side the color cup is hanging off.

    Besides I hate cleaning the little color cups, stems ect. It's much easier to clean a gravity feed airbrush.

    Just personal pref. What works for me you might not work well for you. Let your experience with any certain airbrush determine what you can create with that airbrush not what ours say.

    I have a Paasche VL and have about 8hours on it, works great for me It is funny when I bought the brush it was between the single action and the VL, the vl was $10 more and the guy said it was definately worth it. I can certainly see the benefits of being able to control YOUR flow on the fly. 'Your' because I sure can't....yet. Having a blast playing with it and hoping to get on daggers next week.

    I use Iwata BCS and CS models. Have some Masters that are collecting dust, for my detail work I use RichPen. Don's right the less expensive airbrushes are tons more fragile. I got all my Iwata's (6) both models (BCS & CS) for less than $100.00. Here's how, go to Hobby Lobby on the web every two weeks they have a 40% off coupon, print it take it to a store and the $179.00 Iwatas go for less than $100.00. The coupon only works for one item. I also got my easel this way.

    I have a Paasche VL, a Badger 200 (which was my first one really) and my latest pressy to myself, an Iwata HP-CS. The latter is far and away the best airbush in my limited experience and very humble opinion. On the other hand it should be as it was the most expensive ny some margin.
    As Don said, I guess with any brand, you gets what you pays for.

    Iwata Eclipse HP-CS is my work horse, I also have a Paasche Talon i use for clear coating(using the new Fan Tip--works great for clearing smaller projects), and a Master G44 I also use. My opinion for the best Airbrush out of mine would definetely be the Iwata Eclipse, hands down......that will be the next airbrush I purchase when I add more brushes to my fleet!!!
