I have one, and have been using it for about a year. I brought in a pro to
do some repair work on my plane, he brought his own HVLP, and I asked about
mine. He said that he'd know the difference, but that I
wouldn't. Apparently the expensive ones ($500 and up) have a more even
coverage, and even less atomization, but it's only a smidge better.
