In my opinion one of the considerations in buying a paint gun should be parts availablity. I have no doubt that any decent gun in the hands of a decent painter can lay down some excellent results. There's not much to any paint gun and as long as they're clean and new, they work great. But what happens when you need a different size tip? What happnens when you accidently drop the gun as you reach to fill it and ding the needle? If one of the seals goes bad, can you get new ones? Lots of guns just don't have replacement parts available, and while I agree that the prices of some are very attractive, if you can get a gun that has parts available at the local paint store for nearly the same price, you need to at least consider it.
