Should probably clarify, we decided to re-paint all 3 bedrooms with possibly down the line redo the ceiling paint and the main bathroom. That's quite a bit of painting, so maybe investing in the spray gun wouldn't be a bad idea. I see there is a pattern on the boss lady about wanting to re-paint areas in the house every year.
The thing with spraying inside is you have to mask off everything and you end up with a lot of paint "mist" in the air that needs to settle. So before you do that, think about how much time that would take vs. rolling with a drop cloth. If the inside is already finished I usually hand roll it.

Airless is the way for paint sprayers.
