An increase in choice is always a good thing, I guess.
But me personally, I am totally lost in the many paint brands there are

Me too.
I used to love the WEM enamel Colourcoats range (even if they were a bit smelly, but I now mostly use Vallejo ModelAir.

I still use Humbrol enamel (I grew up with it :-) ) but I hate those miserable jars.
I am also using Tamiya acrylics, some modelmaster enamel, aclad II .... and I recently bought some MIG paints to give it a try.
Maybe I should have sticked to Humbrol but then, those jars ...
I hope, to find a brand that I can stick to, having so many brands makes airbrushing (which thinner to use, airpressure ... are paints incompatible?) more complicated.
