I'm trying to make up my mind between one of three different compressors and need some help. The first is a Ingersoll-Rand 60gal tank with a 5Hp motor single stage. The second is the Husky 60gal tank two stage. The third is a craftsman 60gal tank two stage.

I know the two stage is quiter than the single but just how much. Is it better to go with the two stage over the better brand? They all three have almost the same cfm ratings. I do want a quite compressor but how much of a difference is there really? Any other reasons to go with a two stage besides noise and heat?

Thanks,
