hey mike from jersey, so i read this whole thread and i just want to say i was totally againsy olympos and iwata, i have a grex xn and xgis2, and lots and lots of other microns, but then i got an iwata hpc for dirt cheap, and i will say the build quality is top notch, i work at a body shop for a living and i appreciate a company who has near perfect weilds and sanding etc etc for their brushes, and i also stumbled on an olymlos hp 100b .4mm trigget sense for dirt cheap with extra needles and all that fun stuff, it is the older version and i have to say that olympos is my favorite next to my grex and holbein toricon, and i also feel everyone is right when they say the user gets fine lines, im able to pull fine lines with my paasvhe millinium, certain brushes make it easier, so even tho i have a micron and .2mm brushes i find myself using a .3mm setup for everything, ill just over reduce for fine lines, so it isnt really about whar bruah is better, i feel its what brush feela like its at home on your hand, that olympos, i was totally against it. but i love it more and more each day, but larger nozzles work best for me, that was my only point
, you can spend 2 million dollars or 2 dollars on an amazing bruah, but if reduction, air pressure, or even paint arent right, that brush wont work to its full potential, so i feel its more than just a brush that you need to worry about, and i have 15+ airbrushes, but only 3 at the moment that are in my holder, cause they all do everything, and even tho my grex, olympos and holbein are all .3mm, they all spray 100 percent different, my holbein shoots slower and needles more reduction than the rest but the percision i can get is beautiful, and they all cost me around the same amount of money which is $100, my intential is not to belittle anyone or say they are wrong just saying what works for me, and the things i learned
