I am probably going to buy it just for the compressor, my wood working compressor does not have fine enough control on the low end.

Your wood working compressor should work just fine. What you might need is a better regulator that will allow a finer adjustment. Even with a siphon feed airbrush you should not require more than 50psi. I run mine at 20 - 30 psi depending on what brush I'm using at the time. Bare in mind that most paints must be thinned to the consistency of milk to be used in an airbrush. The compressor shown in the link will have problems keeping up with that kind of pressure without needing to stop and catch up.
If your looking at decent airbrushes look at the Passche's, Iwata's and Richpen's. Look at the needle and nozzle size, the smaller the size the more detail you will be able to achieve. A 0.5mm is a good start but I prefer a 0.3mm. You must also consider if the O rings inside will handle solvent based paints.
