I believe that disclaimer you posted was from a Limited Edition Airbrush. I was the same thing when I was browsing the site.
I swapped out the head assembly and the needle from my MP-200C and CMC + tonight and both performed perfectly. So it looks like the critical parts(Needle and Head) are interchangeable. I do prefer the Iwata needle because it's got a shorter taper on the very end and less likely to bend. For $150 I see no real reason not to buy the Olympos.
Thanks for the info, I will def keep this in mind!!Just checked, they sell the retail version of the MP for $384 with box, and extra head unit.
A little bit of advice I recieved recently.What would be the likelihood of ever needing a complete second head unit? Surely any damage would be confined to the needle/nozzle?
Just bought myself an H&S infinity, would one of these be a worthwhile investment? The price does seem very good.
Sorry for the maybe noobish questions but i am new to quality airbrushes.

Stick with the brush you have and get to know everything to do with it, it is a very capable brush ,the infinity, if you keep chopping and changing you will only slow your learning process down and end up getting frustrated, you can take my word for that as I've "been there, done it and have the tee shirt"
The main thing that kept me from H&S was too many reviews about the delayed response.
This does trouble me a little, but then again i am used to China specials (Crap airbrushes), so maybe the Harder will feel like a Rolls Royce...i hope
No need to be troubled, I changed rather quickly to different brushes, but a lot of great art has been done with various makes of brushes,buy talented peeps, but most have in common,they just really got to know their equipment and paint. Yes I found that the trigger was not instant like the micron but you will quickly adapt to it. Mitch ,airbrush tutor, done a review of the AL PLUS,same make as the infinity, and even he said you will quickly adapt to it even after being used to iwatas.This does trouble me a little, but then again i am used to China specials (Crap airbrushes), so maybe the Harder will feel like a Rolls Royce...i hope
