I like my Patriot. It's tough as heck and very easy to hold.

I'm very happy with my Eclipse  I just picked up last month. The trigger is so light and smooth I hardly know I'm even pressing it. Very easy to clean and well worth the money. Good luck on your decision.

Now I have  only had it for two weeks but the my iwata revolution is a very nice airbrush (and not because my family got it for me).  It has fantastic seal, no air leaks and extra sealing needed, and has a very nice all metal outside so it can take a fall. ( not like that ever happened ;)  The only problem with is that the lid pretty tight but my father's one doesn't seem to have this problem, so probably just my but be warned.  Also, spare parts look pretty cheap so if you can't buy a new one, you can at least fix it for cheap.  Hope this helps you with your choice.

P.S. I found a lot of help and information going to Don's airbrush site.

You're gonna need a compressor in case you hadn't though of that. But if not then that fact could play into your choice of airbrushes. And fwiw, just starting out, any of those can out perform your capability at this point anyway. Both brands have parts available etc.

Both Iwata and Badger are really capable of excellent performance, Badger prices are very affordable at USA Airbrush, I've been quite happy dealing with them. Since you are just starting out, best to keep your costs down by checking out which type would suit your needs, at the lowest price point. I have several brands, but my most used is either the 105, or the 100LG, both from Badger. Both well under US $100

Good luck with your search.
