I'm looking at a new compressor. The company has a 60 and 80 gallon unit. Other than the tank size both are basically the same (same pump and motor, so same CFM ratings). The difference in price is $150. The 80 gallon unit comes with an automatic tank drain but for intermittent hobby use that's not really necessary.
So the question behind all this is: what is the benefit of the 80 gallon tank and is it worth it for hobby useage (air tools, some paining, and running a small blast cabinet)?
