Obviously, they are two different guns. I have the first one and I like it a lot. It's not quite as good as my DeVilbiss, but it's a good knock-off and it
gets the job done nicely. (and it's cheap enough that if I screw up on cleaning it I can just throw it away and get a new one) I've used it to paint a number of trailers before selling them and the finish has always been "like new". The advantage of a HVLP gun is, of course, the low overspray that you get and the thicker paints that you can spray. I don't own one so I cannot comment on their suitability for your application. Since overspray is never a problem for me I'd go with the first one. I like that fact that it can blast paint into tiny cracks and corners, which, for me, is important. I'm not sure if the HVLP could do that. Also, I cannot stress highly enough the importance of making sure that whichever gun you use, make sure the air coming to your gun is bone dry. Just a few drops of atomized water can (and will) ruin a paint job. Put primary and secondary filters on your compresser. It's cheap money compared to the need to strip and repaint.
