I read all the posts yesterday about MIG's AB actually being the Sparmax. But the problem is that I spent the rest of tha day trying to find a store that sells these Sparmax AB's at the prices indicated in the posts.. and that would ship to Egypt for example, but I couldn't. I did, however, find a store that sells the AB-130 airbrushes. So, are those the same as the Sparmax also?
Another thing concerning MIG's AB.. I wouldn't have a problem buying it if the same store sold all the accessories needed for it... and spare parts for it.
So, availability is very important. How easy it is to get it.. and get accessories and spare parts for it.
As for the cheaper AB doing what the more expensive one does.. It's been my experience in life in general that less expensive is not necessarilly worse. Unfortunately, some people buy the more expensive AB simply because "If it's more expensive then it must be better".. and then you look at their paint jobs and you find that they look just like a paint job made with a cheaper AB.
Also, skill lever counts for a lot. Hell, you could give me the most expensive Iwata AB there is and I'll still turn out an average looking paint job. I mean, just because it's expensive doesn't mean that it's going to paint all by itself
After all thet's been said on the subject, I still can't make up my mind which to buy
But I'm leaning towards the AB-130 simply because the store that sells it has all the accessories and spare parts for it.. and ships internationally.
