 Gentlemen after reading all your posts I have picked the 360. I think it will make me a very happy painter. But I may go back and get a 155 later who knows? Thank you all for all your input.

Hello,

 I too have both the 155 & 360.  I mostly use the 360 just for ease of cleaning.  Most of hte time I am only using a couple of drops of paint.  The hassle in using the 155 does not justify the time in cleaning the paint cup. I do use the 155 with I need to prime or otherwise am shooting lots of paint and I don't want to keep refilling the gravity feed 360.  With that said, the 360 is supposed to accept the paint cups. I'm sure it does, but I've never tried it.  I bought the 155 first.

I've got 2 100s, as SG with a fine tip, and a G with a medium tip.

I wouldn't be without them.

I have a 155.... love it. I'd like to ge the 360, though, for the gravity feed option.

Or a 100LG.

I'd never change the needle anyway.... too lazy.... Big Smile [:D]

I have the 155 and the 360. I use the 360 more often because of the ease of cleaning a gravity fed AB(easier anyway). The color cup on the 360 ain't the biggest but, it seems to be big enough for what I need it to do. Only my Ham-Handed efforts prevent it from being used to its full potential...

Highs? A damn good AB. Can't say enough.

Lows? Can't think of any besides the relativly small color cup.

I'm sure Mike will be along shortly to give you the complete Badger rundown since he is tha' man when it comes to Badgers.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Jeff

 I'm looking to get a new Badger I have a 175 with all three needles I've had it for years and love it. But I want something lighter and more versitile on one or two needles. I have been looking at the 155 and 360 and was wondering if you users could give me the highs and lows of each to kinda help me make up my mind. Thank you in advance.
