Nitrogen Tank Refill Price?

I'm thinking of going to a nitrogen tank refill station and the cheapest I found in my area is 250.00 for a 5 year lease and 215.00 per fill. Is that too high? What are you guys paying and how many times should I be able to fill a Great White Tank? I also heard you can buy some type of booster so that you can get the most out of the 300 cubic foot tank. Where can I get the booster and for how much? I'm weighing my options and seeing if it would be better to just go with a Shoebox compressor.

not sure about a booster. some use a regulator coming off there tanks to set output pressure. the $250 for 5year lease is as good as it gets. the $215 per refill is a little high. altogether it weighs out fairly good compared to all the different quotes i've heard. i use about 1 tank a year and i shoot alot and fill for others as well. i would estimate it's going to cost you $50/year lease and about $215/year for nitrogen. roughly $265/year running expense. and what ever start up equipment you opt for. just a fill station $150 to $200. regulator $400 or so. the regulator is not absolutely necessary for filling but does add an extra safety measure. and it also gives you a means to tether your rifle for lots of shooting and a lot less filling.
versus: what does all the equipment cost for a shoebox? i dont own shoe box so i cant say. and how long will both compressors/equipment last. then compare a yearly cost and see if its worth having pure nitrogen vs air.? the nitrogen will likely cost you a little more but will be more convenient and completely dry. you decide.
either way you be in for lots of air, lots of shooting and fun.
cost of a small portable tank will be the same. either way your going to need a small tank.

Thanks. But had to go with the shoe box because the welding supply company bagged out on me. They said they only lease them to industrial companies.
