Re: 1.1 CFM Air Compressors?

The downside of course is that it also weighs over 8lbs.

Would be handy if you needed a lot of air pressure and had spare weight to play with I guess.
Eyeroll completely inappropriate here. This is probably the perfect off-board compressor. You don't care about weight, and the fill-rate should be comparable to or better than the 98C or 100C. If you've got a ton of air to store, it's not going to mind running forever, either.

I'm not clear on why everyone is so big on the Thomas 215. Unless the viair 98C and 100C suffer significant performance hits for running at 12V instead of 13.8V, it seems like they have better flow rates and fill rates than the 215.
