hvlp sprayer-siphon feed or gravity feed?

I am getting ready to purchase my first HVLP sprayer for glaze spraying. I have read several posts regarding them but none that mention the suction feed type. I have always used the regular suction feed sprayer, changing glazes 2-3 times while doing one piece, just stick the gun in another cup (no lid). Can one still use the siphon feed HVLP the same way?

What problems if any do you have with the gravity feed HVLP when you change glazes while spraying a piece. Do you have to unscrew the cup each time.

Any opinions on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
