It's really down to personal choice mate when you're dealing with top end guns. IF properly set up and properly cleaned they are all going to perform. I have a preference to Anest Iwata. They feel right in my hand. My best advice is don't follow the pack but if possible pick the gun up and see if it fits you

Like you old school, started apprentice in 1979 VBRA . Old JGA first gun . I thought at 58 years old. I’ll treat my self to lotus gun . Iwata w400 I’m using at moment. Can not wait to retire at 63. Lotus gun I’ll never use just for show.

Like your style so it's less how it feels and more how it looks. I mixed being a trainee with life on stage so my collection is guitars. First gun, Sagola suction. Current Iwata AZ30 Now semi retired at 61 oven spraying classic cars lorries bikes and planes for a reputable business.

Still got old JGA . Remember using the old cellulose. Spray gloss. Valentine paint. Belco . Bare metal stopper . Panel beaters would led fill , then file.Smooth out the led with lard paste , old wooden spatula there use. These days there got it easy .£22.50 a week . What you could buy then

I suspect that old Devillbiss would still lay it down. I only stopped using my Sagola 4100 because gravity was the way forward. Cost me £450 mind and I was on £18ph

I've a JGA and with a 1.8 setup on a pressure pot it will spray Jotun 87A no problem.
It works very well for thick primers and is great for spraying upside down as well. Don't like cleaning it though.

It's the only suction gun I use and it's not really suction.
I used it to spray the underside of a car on a lift with 2k and even with a 1.4 setup the amount of overspray compared a gti pro was unbelievable.
I know I should have used a smaller set up but I wasn't going to try and get one for a one off job.
The PPS system would have worked with a gravity gun I suppose, but I don't do enough upside down spraying to justify setting it up.
