Greeting fellow potters!

I finally popped for a professional spray gun and have a bad feeling I got
the wrong one - Binks model 2001, with a 200 spray nozzle. Guys at the paint
store made the recommendation based on specific gravity and putative
abrasiveness. Subsequently, i've seen a Binks catalog with a number of
others specifically labeled "Glazes and enamels".

It wouldn't bother me except that my 200 spray nozzle costs $30 buckaroos to
replace and lasts about a week before the hole starts wearing out.
Binks tells me I can replace the nozzle and tip (for about half the price of
the gun!), but I am chary until I can find a personal recommendation.

Has anybody had great experiences with any particluar Binks models? Other
manufacturers?

Thanks in advance.
