You are so right!! at our yearly model competion we have a german woman hwo makes a living from airbrushing and she uses an airbrush that costs less than 200 $ ( Harder & Steenbeck evolution...not sold in the USA )
And she allways says you can buy the most expensive Iwata airbrush.....If you don't know how to use it, its money out the window.

Just a little thing : Evolutions are in the same quality range as big Badgers ( or T&C ) or Iwata and they cost around 100 Euros only in Germany; they can be set with 0.15 needles, so for the ultrafine side if this makes any sense, and they are very beautiful tools.
As I am here writing this, I would like to add that I find that Aztek may be fragile and a little on the cheap side as far as construction is concerned, but I like them ( I still have an old 1001 ); on the opposite, I once owned a VSR90 Paasche; and I mean once as I tried it one day and sold it back as I thought it was a piece of crap, while a friend of mine likes it a lot. An endless matter of subjectivity at the end.
