Now that I FINALLY have electric in my garage (WOOHOO!) I'm getting down and dirty on looking for a compressor. I found 2 @ Lowe's w/ the following specs: 80 gal, 1 stage, 4.5 HP, 155psi, 16.1psi @ 40cfm, 14psi @ 90cfm, $699 80 gal, 2 stage, 5.2 HP, 175psi, 17.5psi @ 40 cfm, 15.8psi @ 90 cfm, $899 The sticker on both units say they will adequately run all air tools. Granted these are the first 2 units I've looked @, but not knowing alot about compressors, is it worth spending the extra $200 on the 2 stage unit? I do want to do sand blasting and run air sanders, etc. School me please!!! Bill M
