Opinions on entry level spray guns, Sharpe vs. Astro

I need a reasonable quality gun for occasional car painting, right now we'll be doing a car with bc/cc urethane.
After reading through the forum for a couple of hours yesterday, it looked to me like the best bet for a budget priced gun would be either a Sharpe FX3000 or a Astro EVO 4014. From shopping around I can get either gun delivered to me for around $110. to $120.
I'm leaning towards the FX3000 as I can get it with a 1.3mm nozzle. We're going to use Limco 4100 clear and the tech sheet says to use a 1.1 to 1.3 mm nozzle.
It appears that the Astro EVO model may be being phased out as the Astro site primarily promotes a new "Euro" gun but there aren't any reports on this gun on the forum, which I'm taking to be a bad sign. Also I can only get the Astro gun with a 1.4mm nozzle, one size too big for the Limco 4100 paint.
Any opinions on these guns or other guns in this price range I should consider?
