If I was to start again I would deffinately go with the iwata, but £120 more when your starting out is massive especially when you just want to try your hand at it.

Good points. My original cheap airbrush was ok for putting down layers in solid blocks assuming I had masked the areas. I couldn't do fades as the brush was irregular and would spatter etc. having a decent brush does enable me to do fades (now limited by skill, rather than equipment). The better compressor allows for easy pressure regulation so I can drop it for the fades, and up it for the coverage.
I also agree, the iwata is a world apart in terms of ease of cleaning. It just doesn't seem to clog, while my other one seems to do nothing but clog!
