I used to spray nitro with a high pressure gun and compressor. I switched to a low pressure turbine and gun when I switched to water-based finishes, probably 15 years ago.

My experience has been that one can get a good - or bad - finish with either setup, with one not necessarily being better - or worse - than the other.

My experience has been that that is exactly correct.

Based upon what Steve does, his setup, his thinning ratio's, his spraying sequence, I don't doubt that what he says is true. But, that may be different, with different results, for others with different equipment, setup, etc.
