You could also experiment with using an oil based paint; it may be less likely to dissolve the stipple.

We just finished redoing our daughter's room. The stippled ceiling was the bane of my existence. Stipple was falling down all around me and I couldn't for the life of me get even coverage. We bought a cheapo (about $80) Wagner Powerpainter at Home Depot and it did the trick in about 20 minutes. As MacD said, it took a bit of trial and error to get it to spray properly straight up but once we got the hang of it - money!
