Since this thread is full of spicy hot takes, here's mine (I have owned and used both of the ones you posted, as well as others cheaper and more expensive):- Buy the Gaahleri GHAD-68 ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN7PNNCB ) which is the same price as the ones you have listed but comes with a 0.5mm needle. Swap the needle. Now you have a cheap airbrush that is less likely to clog, will give you longer runtimes without drying out the needle, and with only a slight loss in precision that your skill level wouldn't be able to notice anyway. It will still clog, it will still break, and all those things. BUT, it's a little more forgiving and totally buys you time to practice and think about what you really want in your next airbrush or if you want something better/more at all. I got it because it was cheap, and then was surprised at how good it was compared to the price. It is not amazing, but it is good until it (eventually) breaks. By the time it does, you will know better what you want. I've owned a total of 3 of them, and have also recommended them to others in the mini painting hobby.
