The rental Graco is a top notch professional unit that sells for $700 or so.
As for the two you are interested in, Graco has an excellent reputation for
professional sprayers. Wagner has a terrible reputation for making crap in
the consumer line. These two units may not fall into either category, bit
I'd still take a Graco first.
