Water based versions of the original products are strictly (
in my opinion) formulated to attract homeowners who are nervous about using oil based anything.
I do not advocate using anything that is "Homeowner" friendly, we need to utilize "Contractor" grade products.
It seems to me to be a marketing strategy to scoop up the burgeoning homeowner DIY market (thanks Home Depot and Lowes

).
Stick with oil Kilz, it has always been a very effective product that protects my reputation every time I have used it.
