Default Gravity or bottle feed Iwata?

I need to get an airbrush for painting models, RC bodies etc., small stuff. Should I get a gravity feed or a bottle feed?

Seems like the gravity feed would waste less paint since I'm not going to be painting outside murals or anything. I was thinking of the Iwata Revolution or Eclipse gravity feed.

Any other thoughts suggestions?

Well I got this figured out, going to get a gravity feed. Now I just have to decide on a good compressor.

I use the gravity fed eclipse for the detail work and the syphon fed for larger area painting...there are 5 hobby lobby stores in austin, and every 2 or 3 weeks they run a coupon for 40%off one item. Thats where I got both my eclipses and my iwata compressor too...just check their website for the coupons...
