It just keeps getting more interesting. I really have a lot of thinking to do. Luckily I won't be getting one until after the holidays are over, so I have a lot of time to ponder over the different brands and models. My big question is where is the best place to purchase the brush from. I have seen the Iwata Eclipse being used. Nice, but it is not gravity fed. Is it best to go gravity or siphon? I was looking at Chicago air brush to be a possible place to purchase from. Although I like the idea of going to Hobby Lobby, because of the 40% savings, but they do not offer the Neo models. I am leaning towards the Neo rather than other brands. I hope this is a good high end brush to start with. At least they have a 5 year warranty. Still up in the air about the compressor. I will have to look at the Silentaire Air brand, and where to get it form. Thanks to everyone for the great feedback. Couldn't have asked for more.
