Best paint sprayer for trim?

Does anybody have a recommendation for a paint sprayer for spraying trim and windows with latex paint?

I have had an Graco airless sprayer for years, the one with a hose that goes into the bucket. Works great, but I thought it's a bit too much for trim. Not concerned about overspray since the walls will be done anyway after.

Tried an HVLP with compressor, and that would take 3 days for a room.

Reverted back to the brush and got frustrated after the first window.

Bought a Wagner sprayer with cup,realizing they are consumer models,still expecting a half-way decent result: Very limited control, heavy beast in your hand, overspray like crazy combined with a pattern that is a mix of big droplets and almost bare spots. Might be a setting thing, and a half dark room doesn't help with adjusting, but I think that POS's destiny is already sealed.

Should I just get the smallest tip for the Graco (still like 8-10" width) and just deal with the setup, but be a happy camper?

Any other thoughts?
