Which is the better system a pressure pot with an HVLP gun or an HVLP 4 stage turbine? I'm trying to decide if a pressure pot would complement my current Fuji 4 stage turbine with the 3M PPS system or is it more of a replacement of my current system? I have a large compressor (which I didn't have when I first purchased the turbine).

I currently spray latex, shellac, poly and conv varnish (all waterborne except the shellac).

Any opinions?

My personal preference is a conversion gun with a remote cup/pot. I can run heavier material without, or with less thinning, than I could with my Fuji QP4. The only downside to a pressure pot is a little extra cleanup and using liners helps with that.
