Twin stage, 7.5 hp, 80 gallon Eaton compressor here. Key to my system is the air dryer setup I put on with it. Bitch when I have cleaner, dryer air than the dealership I work for!!!!!

I viewed the eaton on line looks like a nice piece.I have a couple others on my list either the quincy 5hp 2 stage or the belair in the same size .Im running a single stage ingersol that struggles with high demand tools and that gets old real quick .I do have a pretty good air filtering system in place cause i do some painting here and there mainly my friends rides.

Real happy with the Eaton piece, picked it up at there shop, nice people. Think about the air dryer, it cools down the air and pulls the moisture out of the air before it gets to the filteration system. Good luck with whatever you decide on.
