This is a follow up to my recent post ... to recap, I'm just getting into spray finishing & only have a small compressor; so, for now am gonna learn the ropes on a mini or detail gun. I've eliminated the Porter Cable unit sold at Lowe's, as it only comes with an 0.8mm nozzle tip, which I've been told is too small for shooting oil based polyurethanes (?) As far as I can determine, these are the two best moderately priced units on the market - one HVLP, one NON-HVLP ... any advice as to which way I should go would be greatly appreciated:
1. Astro Pneumatic HVLP 1.2mm tip $79.99 (should I go with the plastic or steel cup ?):

Or ...
2. Walcom ES/RV (NON-HVLP) 1.0mm is the largest tip available $99.00 (scroll down to the bottom of the page):
