I can't attest to the specs of the compressors, but I can say that from our experience the new compressor does seem to heat up a lot more than the old one did.

We've actually had several occurrences where the air from the compressor heated up so much (as a result of the compressor getting hot) it actually melted the pneumatic hose and caused it to burst. Eventually we mounted one of the 120mm fans from the KoP to blow over the compressor and we haven't had any further problems with it.
