1.1 Pump (am-3227) Really an improvement?

Seriously, the value of this upgrade becomes clearer when you calculate how much air you can compress in an hour. Assuming you have your pressure switch's range set so that your "average" pumping is at 100psi (and don't bleed your tanks between matches):
The 1.1: 0.31 cfm * 15% * 60 minutes = 2.79 cf/hr
Viair: 0.22cfm * 9% * 60 minutes = 1.19 cf/hr

That's about 2.3 times as much air, for $6 extra and less than a pound more!

Definitely useful for those hour-long FRC matches
