The lower level Graco and Titan are pretty good. I think the Graco starts at the 495. The Titan 440 is also a good rig. If you can boost the budget up to $1000, you can pick up lightly used big rigs. I picked up a Ttian 1140i for $800 + freight from an underemployed painter in the Northwest. New construction (residential and commercial) is off so bad that used pricing for the big sprayers has fallen through the floor. This sprayer is big enough to handle heavy coatings like high build primers, but not break a sweat doing small work.

The sprayers are great for spraying trim and doors in new construction, but for remodels, they don't shine so much. I began hiring out painting, but if things slow down and I start picking up the brush again, I would roll the walls, brush the trim, and spray the doors. If you're lucky and the carpet is out, spray the ceilings. The airless sprayer for the ceilings is superb. Don't forget the prepwork.
