Doug;

The Devilbiss guns we use have the top mounted cups and my operators
don't complain about the weight or balance of these.  Just think of the
guys in an auto body shop that use these all day every day painting
cars.
Our guns are what are called a conversion guns, we feed it clean dry
shop air and it is reduced in pressure in the gun itself.
I have a turbine setup in my wood shop and I always wear ear protection
along with a respirator when I use it.  They do sound like a vacuum
cleaner on steroids!

Thank you all for your suggestions, I will be looking at several of
them.

Some follow up questions:

1.  If you are using the gravity fed guns, with the large reserviors on 
top - do you use some form of tool rest to take up the weight?  If so, 
what kind?  If not, do your operators complain about the weight and what

it does to their wrist (repetitive motion issues).

2.  If you are using HVLP guns, are you using stepped down compressed
shop 
air (with drying and oil trap) or are you using a separate turbine
system 
to supply the air?

I use a turbine based HVLP gun in my woodworking and it screams like a 
banshee, so I would be concerned about the noise.
