1.1 Pump (am-3227) Really an improvement?

[Jeffrafa]

I noticed AndyMark has come out with a new compressor as an alternate to the Viair 00090.

The primary claims about it seem to be that it has a higher 1.1 CFM output (legal limit per 2016 R79), and that it has a higher rated duty cycle (15% vs 9% on the Viair).

A quick glance at some of the specifications makes me doubt the value here though.

1.1 Pump:

• 3.37 lbs
• 15% Duty Cycle
• 1.1 cfm @ 0 psi
• 0.26 cfm @ 100psi
• Dimensions: 3.27"x6.75"x5.25"
• ~31 sec - Claimed time to fill (1) 574ml tank 0-110 psi

Viair 090:

• 2.4 lbs
• 9% Duty Cycle
• 0.88 cfm @ 0 psi
• 0.39 cfm @ 100psi
• Dimensions: 2.11"x4.53"x5.94"
• ~13 sec - Claimed time to fill (1) 574ml tank 0-120 psi

Based on the listed specifications, the new one has a little better duty cycle - which may make it a little more reliable. Otherwise it weighs nearly a pound more, takes up more space, and has ~30% less volume output at 100psi - where it matters for topping off during the match. Even the stated fill times for a tank are worse than the Viair.

I like the look of the larger heatsink, but between the weight penalty and the lower ouptut at pressure, I'm not seeing the advantage.

Am I missing something here?
