Time will only tell how long it holds up and I've only used it three times so far; but I picked up an airbrush set on Ebay for $16+ shipping. It came with 2mm, 3mm, and 5mm needles, tips etc. Air pressure regulator screw in the body, gravity feed, double action. The name on the brush is Spirit Air which I guess are intended for nail salons. So far so good. Sprays both fine lines and broader coverage and cleans up well. I use acrylic and water base paints for the most part. So if you're looking for a cheaper airbrush this might be worth looking at.
