I like your style Tongue [:P]
joined five minutes ago and the first post starts with capital letters Evil [}:)] and the word "urgent"
I suggest:
assume they are both rubbish, take your time, do your homework and there will be plenty more of deals on E-pay tommorow

Never heard of either brand sorry and I know this is coming too late for your auction but I agree that you should assume they are rubbish and do some investigation.  Get yourself a name brand that you are able to get spare parts for. 

Given that you are in Aus, you will find that buying an airbrush from the US is far cheaper than buying it here, check out http://www.dixieart.com/ they are excellent to deal with.

Cheers

What ever you do don't get the bottom airbrush.  When I first was getting into the hobby and wanted to get an airbrush I bought the cheapest one that was dual action.  What a piece of crap.  It didn't even last using it one time.  I bought an Aztek which was good for beginners.  I then bought a Badger Anthem 155 and finally settled with an Iwata Revolution CR which I feel is the best brush out of all of them.  Don't by cheap because you will only be disapointed.  I have bought airbrushes from http://dixieart.com/ and they are a very good company.

No probs at all.  By the way be careful with those Precision air brushes, I've just had a quick look on eBay and they are cheap made in China Iwata copies.  Personally I wouldn't touch them as I think you'll be throwing away $50.

Have a look at Dixieart's site and check out the entry level dual action Badger, Iwata & Paasche airbrushes.  You can pick up an Iwata Revolution CR for $64 US delivered and you know you've got a good a/b.

Cheers

Ok, I didn't realise they copies. I have looked the dixie site and am seriously considering using it. Thanks for your help.

Okay, I'm coming into this one a little late, but that one at the top, the "H-28" with the black handle extenstion looks very much like one which is available (in Australia) at Super Cheap Auto for the princely sum of $30.  

It's a made-in-China near clone of a Badger 150, and I wrote a "preview" of this unit some months ago here

PS: The abovementioned unit is frequently seen on Ebay as an "AB-128"  - like this one (no, I'm not selling - just found this as an example pic) http://www.everythingairbrush.com/acatalog/Suction_Feed.html
