I add to trackpads recomendation.

Got a Iwata revolution CR a few weeks ago with 0.5mm needle and its a very good all-rounder high quality AB. Replaces my Aztek now.

For finer work I posess a Rich AB200. I was very surprised to see how thin one can spray with that. Rich's are of very high mechanical quality. Haven't yet fully mastered it, though as I need more practice.

For a bit more of an allrounder with fine work ability google for the Rich AB300 (0.3mm tip) or Toricon H3 (0.3mm tip). These two companies don't do cheap copies but very high quality lines for reasonable prices, at least here in europe.

But as you said, your compressor seems a weak link. The airbrush you have certainly does not look bad at all. Being able to adjust pressure is a great help for detail work where you can thin down a lot and spray delicate work with much lower pressure ...

Let us know about your decisions in time.
