Best Value/Best Overall

Street price: $590
Ease of adjustment: Excellent
Spray quality: Excellent
Comments: Gun has a comfortable handle and a dedicated spray-width adjustment knob. The spray pattern was consistent and impressive. The Fuji had a wider spray pattern than the others, and the pattern maintained a consistent shape, which was impressive. The non-bleeder-style gun has a very comfortable grip and features an easy-to-reach fan-width adjustment knob on the side. As the lowest-priced option of the three Best Overall winners, this system also gets a Best Value award.
