Two words "Quality" and "Performance" For me the microns is umbeatable. I lusted after midnight mine for a looooong time before getting one. I was worried I had built it up in my mind, and would be disappointed - but I wasn't. Many knock offs copy the design, but its the quality of manufacturing and materials used for parts as well as design that make the atomisation second to none for me. A hair line can start to look thick compared to what it can do. I love the smoothness of the trigger, weight, balance everything. These qualities, and what people prefer vary from person to person, bit for me the brush feels like a natural extension to my arm.
I have always said that with experience the hp-cs .35 eclipse can almost match it for line work, and I stand by that. But the micron just does it so much easier and smoother. These two will always be my ideal pairing, they compliment each other perfectly. I love the eclipse for its all round ability, and the micron for its ability to produce minute detail almost effortlessly.
It is a lot of money, and I was bought mine as a gift, but I tell my family who bought it, it was worth every penny. I don't think I would have progressed to where I am without it, and I know there is a lot more I will be able to get from it in time. But I am a fangirl, so a little biased
