Graco x5, x7, or other for doors, trim and more?

I have been watching a lot of videos and reading up on spraying and want to give it a try. I have several doors and trim I want to spray for now, but eventually use the sprayer for some outdoor things that don't require a lot of prepping (like a fence and a shed). I don't want to rent one because that is $100 per day and I plan to do this over several days this year and take my time. And I realize the Titan 440 or Graco 395 are great but I am not a professional painter and probably going to use this several times this year but then not again for a long time so I don't want to spend $1500 on a sprayer. That being said, I am not looking for cheapest, but the best bang for the buck. I will spend a little more if it is worth it. Here is what I have found so far:

X5: This is normally $370 but for some reason, Lowe's has it on sale for $272

X7: $430 right now

X17: $538 right now

I'll admit, at the regular prices, I was looking more at the higher end ones but that X5 sure sounds like a great price now. Let me know what you guys think, and if there is even that much difference between these and others. Thanks for looking.

▲ 3 r/Remodel+1 crossposts

I am remodeling my basement rec room which is about 30' x 12' and currently has two old crank out style windows that are about 54" x 40". I have replaced other windows in the house with sliders (because they are in bedrooms) and was going to do the same here, but then I wondered if a picture window is better. The house has central air so I don't ever open them. I don't need them for egress either because an exterior door is right adjacent to this room. The living room directly about this has picture windows. What do you think?
