Painting Business - Are Solvent-Based Enamels Needed Anymore

With todays newer paints do you really need to use alkyd or oil-base paint on woodwork anymore? I find that the Benjamin Moore Satin Impervo in the latex formula looks and feels pretty good when dry.

In my painting business, it seems that I have run into a lot of woodwork that is done in latex enamel in many of the newer homes now days. Latex cleans up easier, painting is faster, and it's a lot less of a hassle cleaning up your brushes at the end of the day.

I know that latex doesn't sand very well though when restoring older woodwork like it does if you use oil. The enamel under coater primers in latex formula are sandable though.

Many times I will under coat with a latex primer and top coat with alkyd. The primer levels good because it is an enamel primer (holds gloss) and that makes it work well with an alkyd enamel top coat.
