Delta may marginally cover better than the other four but they are all good paints. I use the "good stuff" and the five craft paints pretty much indiscriminately. I don't like to mix and its easier to have the needed shade as needed even if they come from several different companies.

Most are craft paints, prices are sooo much better than the enamels. Most of the acrylics noted range in price from $0.50 USD to $2.50 USD per 2.5oz vs upwards of around $3 USD for 0.25oz of Testors, Pactra, Humbrol, etc. They are cheap and can be mixed to get ANY color very inexpensively.
