I saw this airbrush in the Micro-Mark sale email. It sounds good, has anyone used it and if so, what are your opinions?

Excellent airbrush, if not one of my best. Have had it for about 2 years now, and still as good as new. Pricey, but well worth the price. I believe the newer model also has a bigger resevoir.

Thanks for the information sopmod6. I did some internet research and determined that the Sotar is designed more for illustrators (i.e. ink) and decided to go for the Omni 4000. Ordered the airbrush, hose with quick disconnect and color cup cap all for less than the Sotar 2020 alone.

I have yet to do a picture with it! Haha!
I use mine solely for my large scale figure kits (12" or bigger) and my Iwata and Azteks for everything else.
The neat thing about it is the micrometer adjustment.
That is probably it's best feature. Just wish the body wasn't so small.
