Hi there,,,
hmm,,,a short version a bottom feed ab need more psi to be able to operate (passche vl does),it can be a good ab to use if you gonna spray large areas because you have a jar below that you can fill up with quit alot of paint.and this means that if you gonna spray small areas you have to mix at least half of a jar to be able to spray so there's lot of wasted paint(they who use them usually have several jars with colors so they make a quick change of color)

(top feed)
a gravity feed is a more versitile gun in my opinion you can spray wide areas and small,,and you can only add a drop or two of paint in the color cup
and spray=minimum waste of paint,,,it dosen't need high psi (airpressure )either to operate.very easy/fast to clean between color changes.


haven't used side feed ab's so can tell how they work,
