I would say SPI is middle of the road cost-wise. You can certainly spend less but the results and longevity will be much less. Or you can spend more, but the results and longevity won't be any better. I wish I would have known about SPI years ago on previous projects. They all came out okay, but SPI products are so much better and easier to use.

And yes, a rattle can just can't atomize the paint and provide a consistent pattern for a smooth finish.
