Guys,

I've tried out the Aztek, and I have some concerns with regard to it's "feel."
I thought that it felt a bit light and awkward - not very much like a writing
instrument. Also, is the cup on this beast gravity or suction? I'm constantly
throwing out paint from my bottom-feed Badger, and I like the idea of gravity
feed to conserve on the paint. Any thought on how the Aztek compares to the
more traditional styles of double action brushes?

However, I'll be the first to admit that it's been several years since I held
one. I'll have to stop by the hobby shop tomorrow and try one out again.
