Hi Folks,
I'm starting to think about investing in a Micron airbrush. I really like side feed airbrushes and already have an HP-SBS and HP-SB+ so it seems that a natural choice would be to get a CM-SB.
However I have heard that the Olympos Micron is even better than an Iwata as Olympos invented the Micron system and eventually sold the license to Iwata. Sadly they don't have a side feed version but I can get an MP-200B for over a €100 LESS than an Iwata Micron.
Iwata Pro's; parts are easy to get hold of and they do a side feed (I can use the same cups as I use on my other Iwata side feeds). Cons; over a €100 more expensive and not as good as the Olympos.
Olympos Pro's; A better airbrush than the Iwata Micron and much less expensive.
Con's; parts are harder to get hold of and it's a gravity feed airbrush not a side-feed.
Does anyone have experience with both these airbrushes? And if so which one would you choose?
I'm not asking you to choose for me but I can't try them out before I buy so any insight will help.
Cheers Mel
