Also added table with just Viair 90C & Thomas 215ADC38/12. Sort of to compare compressors that very close in weight and size category.
Judging from the spec sheets, it seems to me that the only reason to chose 215 over 90C is for slightly better endurance and better initial CFM performance up to 20 PSI.
I am pleased that Viair 250C-IG is legal and I think it's worth looking elsewhere on the bot to win those extra 4lbs that this compressor adds

Do note the Viar 90C performance is at 13.8 volts. The Thomas 215ADC38/12 is quoted at 12 volts. Thus the 90C has better performance due to the higher supply voltage in its testing. It would be nice to get data points at 12 volts.

Anyone have a flowmeter handy? Maybe just time the two compressors to fill a known volume would be enough.
