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.
We had the weight to play with it and used it on-board. Loved it. We had issues with the little kit viair because as it started going south, it seemed to give us issues with the PCM, causing all of our pneumatics to fail. Simple solution is to mount it with a spike, but we opted to go bigger this year. HAD to use a spike because of the higher AWG wire.

Edit: The only issue we had was when we mounted our fittings into the head, we over-torqued it and cracked the head. We had a high-strength epoxy we used around the fitting and didn't have any issues.
