Well you bunch of enablers made me do it. My order is in and ships tomorrow. Will be nice to not pay that dive shop $17 for 3800psi fill plus 80miles of driving!
Any go / no-go advice for me?

So now the wait begins.Being a stubborn person, I filled my new 90CI bottle with a boosted Hill hand pump (it took 6 hours and basically wore out the pump to the point of needing a rebuild) and don't wish to be that foolish again. Anyway, I'm looking forward to playing with this fascinating new toy.

So I've ordered my Altaros today and I'm debating between 2 models. My needs are fairly light (mostly tire fills and light tasks around the house) and I don't have 220 in my garage for a large compressor. Here's what I'm looking at (not allowed to post links)Husky model C303H5.1 CFM @ 90 PSI with 30 gal tank OrMakita model MAC52006.5 CFM @ 90 PSI with a 5.2 gal tankI assume the Makita would fill faster but with the smaller tank size wouldn't it also have to run more often, possibly heating up the air more?If anyone has real world experience and 3000-4500 fill times with either of these compressors I'd love to know! Thanks.
