Welcome to the forum, Greg!
I use a Paasche, too, a VL. I had the same kind of revelation, when I first used it.
You mention your eyesight. I paint figures, as well as build models, and I used to be able to hold a piece about ten inches or so away from my face and see to work. But with advancing age (not too old, 52, but still), I've lost close focus with the unaided eye. May I recommend that you get yourself a magnifier, like an OptiVisor or one of its knockoffs? I bought one about ten years ago or so, and when I did, I wished I had bought it five years before that. And I'd get one with an attached light, too. Even with a well-lit work area, it helps to have that extra light on your line-of-sight.
I look forward to seeing your builds!
Best regards,
Brad
