I can second this recommendation.  I've used Badger on and off since the
late 70s (both single and double action), however I prefer the Aztek
double
action.  It cleans up faster, the tips and needles are easier to change
and
the tips/needles are less expensive.  There seems to be a larger variety
of
special spraying tips for the Aztek as well, ones for splatter effects
for
example.
