I have desided to go with Bear Air.Will be ordering an Iwata cr4500 (larger fluid needle=less clogging I hope) 
ten foot bearclaw hose,and a combo reg. and watertrap.I do have one question,and that would be,is the fitting on the end of the hose away from the ab standard thread,or will I need a special adapter?Thanks,J.T.

If you have a Hobby Lobby in your area register with them and get a 40% off coupon. They sell Paasche and Iwata. They have a website too

They're pretty much standard at the compressor end, but sometimes sized in a proprietary way on the airbrush end.
I ordered my last airbrush and compressor from Bear Air and was very pleased with the service and price.
They're also pretty helpful on the phone, so I'd recommend giving them a call and maybe placing the order over the phone. Their customer service folks can answer your questions on the spot at least even if you order on-line.
HTH,
