Sadly, like most places in Canada, they don't stock the Renegade series or the 100LG. You can buy the Badger 150 with hose at Dixie Art for $88.50 US compared to $150 Canadian. An online currency exchanger tells me that $88.50 US = $93.50 CDN. Duty & shipping would probably be in the $20-30 range.

You're pretty close to the border, know anyone in Buffalo you can ship it to? Quick drive across the border and back might be worth it!

So long folks!

Your local store is charging the full or nearly full MSRP for their airbrushs. In the US, I usually expect 35-50% off MSRP. If they are the only game in town, you should go for the Iwata.

Besides, the store does not list the newer gravity feed models such as the Badger 105 Patriot or the Paasche Talon.

I don't see any Iwata's at that link. All I see are Badger, a couple Paasche's and that pseudo airbrush the Aztec. Big Smile

Of the ones I see I would go with the Badger 155 Anthem as I don't see any gravity-feed models which are better all around.

All I can say is buy what you like and what has parts available should you need them.
