I found somewhere that Husky is made by the same brand as CH, so that kinda explains why the price is essentially the same.
I got a 60 gal. husky in August and have no problems with it. Sprayed in a bedliner in my truck and did quite a bit of grinding with it.

7.5 HP 80 gallon Ingersoll-Rand 2 stage compressor. This thing will NEVER run out of air on you. I've had it for about two years now and I love it. Its really quiet and never skips a beat. Presure switch is set to turn on at 160psi and off at 180psi. I keep the line pressure at about 110psi so that when under full load the tools are at a constant 95psi. I can work forever with this thing and never have to even think about letting it catch back up.
