I never get good result spraying latex with my HVLP or cup sprayer.I think semigloss is worse.
I've had excellent success spraying latex semigloss and waterbased lacquer with my 4 stage Capspray HVLP. I'm looking for an excellent way to touch up cabinets and builtins after install . I could always use the Preval system, but I feel that if I tried airbrushing I could spay in touch ups. Any feed back will be appreciated.
You actually meant an airbrush airbrush. Never thought of that. With the fine tips I would worry about thinning enough to get flow. I guess that I could get mine out and try...

I don't really know if the water based stuff in Europe is latex or not, but I succesfully spray Farrow and Ball waterbased eggshell (satin) finish with a Fuji 4 stage and am still a novice. The paint is very expensive, but so good that the latest built ins I finished today I painted in situ with a roller. I told the client that the finish wouldn't be as good, but he seems guite happy. I have successfully touched up sprayed stuff with a roller, but then my standards may not be in the same league as price is often an issue here (Normandy people have a reputation for being "careful" with their money 
)
I like the idea of airbrushing, but have never used one. I would be interested to hear any more comments.
