You see, while the compressor can keep up pressure, it is limited in volume (Cubic Feet per Minute). The tanks act like 'pressure inductors', allowing brief periods of high flow volume despite a lower volume compressor.
Besides, isn't more better?

Capacitor, not inductor, and yes, of course more is better
