Default differences between iwatas?

i have a badger anthem 155 and am wanting to buy a gravity feed a.b.
i want to keep it around $100-130ish and have settled on iwata brand but am confused about there being so many iwata gravity feed brushes out there.
does anyone know the differences or which one might be a good one for my price range. i dont understand why they would need that many models of a gravity feed brush. i can see having the high end micron one and maybe a cheapy and a middle of the road but not 20 different models. i want something that will get fine detail with little overspray but they all look the same to me. help me peeps!!!

hey my friend
i had the same delima a few weeks back my wife asked which one i wanted for my birthday????????? I decided to go with the Iwata revoluton gravity fed it was only 66.00 from dixieart.com free shiping. My choice proved to be a good one, man this gun is amazing. Great detail low to no overspray.
But to be honest, I really don't think there is much difference other than bragging rights about which gun you have . I've looked at specs and charts, and even pics done with different guns, i think honestly it all comes down to the person holding the airbrush. All provide the ability to paint at lower pressures and finer detail so all gravity fed guns basically do the same thing.
It all comes down to what you are comfortable spending, and what you like.

Take a look at the Peak C-5.....I've been real impressed with Peak and their prices are affordable.

Mark,
I have both an elclipse bcs( not gravity feed but....) and a hp c-plus (gravity feed). WHile I like the c-plus I find I use the eclipse more and can get very fine lines by simply removing the tip cap, little overspray and picked up brand new with hose, bottle and a couple of bots of paint for 119bucks Canuck. In retrospect I wish I had bought the eclipse cs as well, and if I get another brush that will no doubt be the choice. Great all around brushes capable of many variations.

I bought the eclipse CS for the big cup with a cap on it. I haven’t had to fill it yet, but the cap has saved a few spills. The cup is big enough you can mix paint in it and spray. Clean up is quick and easy with a gravity feed. You can also drop a couple drops in if you don’t need much. I can get a very fine line, and run as low as 10 psi. I ended up getting the best deal at a local auto body shop $90.00 (brush only)
