Hi, I have been looking into buying a new airbrush, specifically a double action. Up until now i have used the Aztek A320, which as been fine but the plastic construction bugs me, it feels like it's going to fall apart at any time. So i have been looking into some nicer models. I have been checking out Paasche, badger, and some iwatas. Im leaning towards the bagers or paaches as the Iwatas are a little out of my budget. I need something that can spray fine lines, but also broad areas for base colors and such.
The airbrushes that have appealed to me are.
1. The badger Anthem, 155. http://store.midtennhobbies.com/badger-155-7-anthem-set-dual-action-bottom-feed-internal-mix----155-7-p2768.aspx This set looks pretty appealing.
2. Paasche Talon http://www.tcpglobal.com/airbrushdepot/paasche.aspx the first set.
I can't seem to find much about the Paasche, if anyone could help me out about this it would be great!
I am also looking at the Aztek A470, but once again the plastic is telling me not to. I would like to keep this under 100, around 85 would be great..
Any words of advice, experiences with these is greatly appreciated! Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the response, shows how knowledged i am in the subject .
After talking with fellow modellers in my area, the Iwatas are really starting to sound nice. I think i would rather spend a little extra money and get something i will enjoy using. This will be my first "real" airbrush, and for a first some people have recommended me to look at the revolution series, like you mentioned. The budget im on i can't afford an ecplise series airbrush right now, I was eyeing this- http://www.amazon.com/IWATA-Revolution-HP-CR-Gravity-AIRBRUSH-FREE/dp/B002J0NHFE/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1293323724&sr=8-7, whiched seemes to be a good deal after shopping around at a few sites. Would this work for overall use?
