Good day - I might offer up my 'thoughts' and/or humble opinion regarding some choices -
I recently purchased a "California Air Tool" Mod #1P1060S, with auto-off and I am thoroughly impressed with it - One can actually think and talk while spraying because it is that quiet. It's 0.6 HP, come with a 1 Gallon tank and at 40PSI moves 1.60 CFM and at 90PSI it'll clock in at 1.20 CFM. Plus, the Company has super-good customer support [I simply added the 'mini' regulator and my water-trap from old system, allowing for more precise air flow and I seldom see the need for 90PSI+ regulator for airbrushing], and stand by their American made product.
As for an air-brush, I've been using a Badger Mod #200-1 [yes, don't laugh to hard, my fellow co-members], since the early 80's and have no complaints... It just works, and works, and works AND is real simple to use. Plus, I added a Paasche "VL", some 10 - 15 yrs back; Which I am still learning how-to use it properly - BUT the Paasche does offer 'more', over the single-action Badger.
I guess it is up to what 'you', are wanting to do, for painting... For me, I have learned to apply the 'KISS Principle', when it comes to this hobby [or passion] we enjoy - 'KISS', simply stated 'Keep-It-Simple-Stupid' and it has worked for me for a number of years with this and other endeavors I have pursued.
I do hope this will help you some on chasing down those 'tools', you are looking into.
