I would choose the Iwata.

I see the Paasche for sale around $100. If you can get a HP-C Plus for that, I would jump on the that deal and not think twice about it.

After reading more threads I've noticed that the more popular brush of choice for the Rc crowd is the hp-cs, now I'm a bit worried have I made a poor choice and would the hp-cs be a better choice as I have found one pretty cheap brand new so I'm thinking I'll buy this if it's more suitable and just re-sell the hp-cp ? Also what's the difference between the two?

The only difference is the needle size. One is .3mm and one is .35mm. I believe the CS is the smaller one. But you aren't going to be able to tell much of a difference anyways. If you were doing illustrations and stuff like that you'd need to be able to make ultra thin lines. But for painting bodies it doesn't matter.

You could always swap needles anyways if you wanted to.

Both are good brushes. I use a talon with the #2 (.38mm) and I like it a lot. That said, you can get one brand new (not the set, but an individual brush) for ~$70 new. The Iwata is a more expensive brush, so if you can get it for the same price, go for it. Everyone I know who has an Iwata loves it.

Ok so I'm thinking that's ok,I mean I'm no Picasso and I have bought it cheap enough to sell on or just keep as a extra if need be but I don't think that will make a huge amount of difference for my skill level at the moment, btw I paid about 80usd as I'm an Aussie so $100 aud. Why is the c+ the more expensive of the 2 if the cs I would think is more versatile?
Thanks again for the help
