Why use the side cup airbrushes?

We all have our choice of airbrushes, and yet most of the top pros prefer the side cup Micron over the top-mounted C model. Why is this?  I can't speak for other artists, but there are 8 reasons why I prefer the side feed over the top feed airbrush.  1. ease of cleaning.  It's simple. The side cup is removable and can be cleaned independently of the airbrush. Yes, the paint passages are smaller than the top-mounted C model, but that is more than compensated by being able to take your cup to the sink without having to detach your airbrush.
