I on the other hand I actually prefer working with Enamels.
Enamel paint is a tougher and harder wearing paint by far when compared against Acrylics and won't rub off like acrylic paint can.
I find it works better in airbrushes and is easier to paint on with a brush.
Also when it is thinned down it retains its colour better and is more even.
I will admit it is slightly toxic but it is no where near as toxic as Lacquers are.
(I use both Enamels and Lacquers and I am okay health wise.)
But I don't suggest sniffing the fumes up too much or too often.
