to kik36 and MikeV, I must apologise, and to all others here. I should not use language like that, and won’t in the future.
To finally add my two cents, I don’t see the point of arguing this, as really, tweety1 is right: “There is no way known to mankind that anyone can convince someone else that A is better than B, and raising your own blood pressure wont help the fact either.”
I like my aztec just fine. It’s the second one I’ve had, and I have a badger as well, and I don’t like as much. Not to say that one is better than the other, simply both do what they’re supposed to do, and I wouldn’t like to lose either one of them.
Zokissima, believe me I don’t mind, as I’m sure my everyday language is a lot worse than most here (I was in the Marines) We just try to keep it clean for the younger modelers and such…moving on
I had an Aztek and it bit me, but I learned a lot from it. My Omni was only $10.00 more than what my Aztek was (comparitive shopping and all). I’m not sure if I would have rather had a Ferrari first or the Civic…but to me it seemed to work out pretty well, because the two are like night and day, and I really appreciate the Omni. I think that it’s great that there are people who enjoy the Aztek, and I’m glad you are able to get great use from it!! I heard from someone once that most manufacturers have a percentage of “dead products” that come off the line. In otherwords, they try to measure the failure rate, and assume that a certain amount WILL fail. Just kinda part of the business I suppose. And I would assume that a lot of people ranting about Aztek may fit in that percentage. Just a guess though, and it could be why they are quick to replace them also. I’m just glad that you and others are happy with yours, and they’re not failing on you, 'cause it kinda hurts your feelings when it does!!!
To sum up quickly, No harm no fowl, I’m glad you’re passionate about your Airbrush, and I hope that you continue to defend it’s position. But if you ever want to cross over to the “Badger Family”, we’ll be waiting with open arms!!![:P][;)][:D]
That is what choices are all about my friend. What works for you is the best airbrush and the others don’t matter. It is a personal choice as are many things in life.
How many times have you heard guys arguing between Ford and Chevy? [:D][;)]
I know how passionate we can all become sometimes when someone badmouths a product that works for us and that we spent good money on, but if it is not true then don’t let it bother you.
Apology accepted and all else forgotten. Now back to sharing our experiences.
[soapbox]
Sure, anyone can like as many airbrushes as they want.
Sure, everyone here makes a valid point
However, about the ergonomic design: I have used a (somewhat)lowly paasche H, and I find that its more comfortable than an “ergonomic” desin of an aztek 430/4709/470 . I currently own an aztek 370, and after about 10 minutes, i get hand cramps.
For ease of cleaning, I must say, aztek is almost as easy to clean. its just more time consuming.
Comparing Plastic and MEtal is like comparing Ferrari’s and Lambo’s. THey are not the same. I
I am so dissatisfied with my aztek, I will join the dark side and buy an omni some time soon… Thanks to Mike {:)]
Anyone can like Anything they like, this is called “free speech”. However, When More than one person disagrees with something, its usually not a good thing. Sure, buying an aztek is cheaper than buying an omni, but the omni will pay off inthe long run.
Once again, Anyone can have any opinion. Thats my 2-8 cents [:)]
