Default Which spraygun from machine mart?

I'm looking for some recomendations from people running clarke guns/

I'm wanting a general gun to prime/paint/laquer, anybody know which gun is best?

Also does the nozzle size effect finish, 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.8? My compressor is big enough for any but just wondering if there is benifits to the sizes other than hp required.

Sounds daft as I work there BUT havent used a clarke gun but heard good things about them and would like some first hand knowledge from guys that have used them.

I don't use clarke guns , im more devilbiss , but the size of the tip dictates the finess of the finish.
Im a commercial painter using a 1.8 and 80 air cap , yet a car painter might use a 1.2 for a fine finish .......and if hvlp a 110 aircap , maybe, but im going back a few years so hvlp guns have probably moved on .....
