Question Which Iwata do I go for

Hi all,

Having had a couple of cheaper airbrushes in the past, I want to get one that is better quality and is easier to clean so it won't clog up all the time like the cheaper one's I've had until now.
Having kept an eye on this section of the forum for a few years now, I know an Iwata is the way to go, but now I need to choose which one. I'm looking at three that seem popular on here; Neo CN (£55), Revolution CR (£97), or the Kustom CS (£150).

The question is, will I see that much difference between the three??
From what I can see, the revolution and kustom have PTFE seals, whereas the neo doesn't- I guess that makes them easier to maintain because i can occasionally chuck solvent based cleaner through them without knackering the seals.
Then the kustom has a taller trigger and "self-centering needle" that the others don't. I presume that this will give greater control, but is it worth the extra £50 over the revolution?
Finally, the revolution comes with a 0.5mm needle rather than the 0.35mm of the other two. Will this actually prove better for the thicker water based paints?

Opinions and experiences please!

Note- how much I spend is flexible between the three- the mrs is buying for my birthday (lucky me ) if I don't blow the budget on this, I get other toys too

Ive tried a few including more expensive ones (harder stenback), but I always go back to me Iwata kustin cs, which is basically a eclipse cs. Cannot fault it

Iwata Eclipse is what I use, really good bit of kit. Think they are around £120-£140ish
