Why not do the math first, then test exactly what the math says? It could save you from throwing unnecessary tanks at a pneumatic system, something too many teams do.

I know, It was a recommended starting place. Do the math and the testing then decide how many you need, keep in mind that you don't want to run until you have empty tanks, you want to run until your stored reaches below your working. Usually when someone says "I think" or "it will be fine" it's never just "fine".
