I know that IR used to be top of the line but in the last several years they seem to be going for the consumer market and the quality isn"t what it used to be. TSC has an IR 80 gal. 5hp 2 stage compressor for $999. pump appears to be cast iron but I assume it is splash lubed unlike my C-aire(Wyoming, Mn). I need another compressor for my new shop as I would like to leave my 60 gal C-aire in the old shop. Would the IR be something that a person would be happy with and last awhile? Main use would be for air tools and general shop use. I want to buy something that will last otherwise I will spend more and get another C-aire.
