Yes, it puts out less air too, but I'm not running air tools on a regular basis off of my truck so that's not a major concern.

yeah, the amp draw is big. but, i have a nice spot saved on the truck just on the opposite side of the framerail for the compressor. i can get it mounted with maybe 18" of cable to the motor. i also have 2 batteries, so i had thought about running the 24v version and just isolating it from the rest of the 12v stuff.
outback has a smaller belt driven that is a possibility though. not so bulky as a york. i may look into that
