The only single action airbrush I would recomend buying is the Passche H. Bar-none. I would forget about the Aztek line - cause I made the mistake of buying one when I first began with airbrushing. You can never get the Aztek nozzel fully clean cause of the way it is manufactured. Plus there is a very fine needle that WILL get bent no matter how carefull you are.

Spend the money on a Passche H and a cheep Passche compressor. It may be noisy but what the hell.

I can't comment on the set you've seen, but have heard mixed views on the Aztec airbrush. Some people love them others don't. I think that you get lots of bits in the kit but that isn't always a good thing. I have recently bought an Iwata Eclipse and it is an excellent all-rounder, without having to change heads and cleans up very easily. The cheapest price in the UK I found for these is from Airbrushsolutions, an ebay shop. For the same price as the Aztec you can get an Iwata Eclipse and a non Iwata compresser with regulator and moisture trap. They give free p&p and sent the order out very quickly.
