I have old cement asbestos 12x24 shingles and the paint was failing. And I believe the previous owner simply painted over dirt and mildew before selling the house. Powerwashing it was a bit of a chore. Disgusting sloppy work, and you need to try to collect everything afterwards. Some paint would peel off in big chunks revealing green and black mildew behind the film, while others required very focused powerwashing to clean it up. Add some precarious ladder work, and it was a nightmare. Luckily the paint chips were not lead, and the shingles are structurally sound, so little risk of releasing asbestos fibers. Still, something you want to wear a mask for if you find yourself in a similar position. Luckily where I live, asbestos can be disposed of as regular construction debris by a homeowner. But I digress...
The areas that I didnt fully powerwash down to the substrate, I primed with zinsser peel-stop 3x. Then I top coated with Behr Ultra. I had used it previously, and already had a couple gallons on hand, so I bought another 5 gallons. Looking back, I might have gone with a sherwin williams option, though the sticker shock might have scared me out of it.
The actual painting was quite easy, however there is much more overspray than I expected. I thought I could get away with a fan shield mask. No good. You really want tape and paper or plastic masking. Priming and cleaning are a little wasteful in my opinion. I tried timing it right to use the last bit of paint in the hose before the water would start making its way through. The gun will change pitch slightly as the paint starts to thin. A couple of sections resulted in some tiny bubbles or fish eyes. I think I just went a bit too heavy in those areas. But overall, I found coverage to be pretty quick and even. I covered each 12x24 tile in 3 or 4 passes, moving a few inches each pass to allow for some overlap. New unfinished replacement shingles required a couple passes, but nothing crazy. It soaks up the paint very quickly. You can lay down a heavier coat on new shingles, without having to come back later for a second coat.
In the end, I estimate I painted about 2000 sq ft of siding with just shy of 7 gallons. Accounting for some overspray and waste, the math works out to be somewhere around 5.3 mil wet film thickness, smack dab in the middle of the suggested thickness.
FWIW, I also stained my father in law's deck a few weeks earlier. The stock 515 nozzle was a bit much, but a 212 nozzle worked beautifully. Priming and cleanup is much worse with mineral spirits instead of water though. Not a fan of the set up and break down, but it turned a 10 hour job into 90 minutes work.
The reviews are killer on-site and a few professionals have both and prefer the avanti but are they real…? ha
I'll be using mine next week. We'll see. Only complaint is the cleanup which I'm sure both units suffer from.

The clearance price made it easy for a flipper to earn even for a discount off the going rate. Also this is a product that contractors have to replace after a certain amount of uses so they will buy. Makes sense, but it is screwing everyone else over here, although I doubt that person really cares. It was at HD for a short time after and then the only way after that in many locations was to buy in person or pay for delivery which is how I got mine. Lesson learned: Buy first, then post, but don't be a pig and buy everyone out of the deal like this guy did here.
Still a good price, if you need it now
I didnt think there was much difference between the x5 and x7 other than the extra height, and higher duty ratings / line length. I thought the internals were largely the same? Perhaps Ive been mislead.
Did you do James hardie? Install yourself? How was it. Looking to do my own shortly

Only saw the hose and extension tip bundles, which didn't look to be discounted, so figured I could always go back and order if needed.
haha you might be right... the drop down choices with wand hose etc seemed to be also discounted. but now that I think about it was just a combo so one purchase got you most of the stuff you need.
