Airless Spray paint gun reccommendations

| Posted in Tools for Home Building on
Could someone please suggest a web site, or magazine that makes comparisons of the various airless paint guns available. I will be doing one full house inside and possibly another, once I buy I know I will be asked by my wife to do our own house outside, but am not planning to get into the paint business, just the odd job here and there.
THank you in advance,
Max

Didn't find any site that compares different brands, but someone here probably knows one.
I bought a Wagner a few years ago to paint rent houses. Had good luck with it. Inside and out painting is quicker. Gives me more time to spend on the prep which is the most important anyway.

All the pros will probably say the Titan 440i is the workhorse of choice.
You can tell how popular they are by the way the used ones get snapped up on eBay for prices about 75 percent of brand new.
Or the Graco 395. A couple of bucks more, same size, basically same capacity, easier filter access and depending on the season, sometimes some nice gimmes from the maker.

Or look at Kremlin.....in my opinion, and lots of others, the best spray equipment on the market, especially for air-assisted airless (airless versions are excellent also). I've never seen a Kremlin owner go back. I have a Graco unit right now (air-assisted airless.....I inherited the Graco), but it can't touch the Kremlin I used to have, and I'm selling it soon and going back to Kremlin.
I also hear very, very good things about Asturo, but I'm not up on their airless gear.cabinetmaker/college woodworking instructor. Cape Breton, N.S
