Purchase Advice Needed, Please Help!

Hi I'm just getting into airbrushing and have seriously been looking at buying an Aztek - A4709 (plastic) or the A7778 (metal). I like the idea of the ergonomic design, as I had an accident with my hand a few years back. Although I have full use of it, my forefinger is slightly numb and my hand can get a little sore and tired after a while. I'm looking to find out what differences there are, if any between the two (in feel and weight) and how anyone rates their performance across the board in comparison with other airbrush brands? I'd be grateful for any help I can get, as I can't test them out for my self. They are not yet available in my country (NZ) and I will have to buy via the web, so I'm relying on some good advice here.

Hey, i know im a lil late on this but, Ive used aztek airbrushes b4, I wasnt crazy about them. A badger anthem is a really good air brush, dual action, great quality, and it will only leave your wallet bout $75. short. They also make single action air brushes. Their alot easier to work with when doin single lines.

Thanks for your advice silverfroman! It is a bit late but I appritiate the reply.
In the end I opted for an Iwata and I've got to say it's not bad at all. Now I've just got to master the art! Thanks again! Cheers Raz!
