Should I buy an airless or HVLP paint sprayer?

Across the reviewers we read, airless sprayers (like the Graco Magnum line) are favored for large-area, high-output jobs such as exterior walls, fences, decks and ceilings because they spray unthinned latex quickly. HVLP sprayers (like the HomeRight Super Finish Max and Fuji systems) trade speed for a finer, lower-overspray finish, which verified-purchase reviewers prefer for cabinets, trim and furniture.
