I looked at IR and think they have a better reputation than they are these days. What I heard/was told about Quincy is the QT-54 is not a true 2 stage...something about the pistons being the same size in both cylinders instead of one smaller than the other.

I really liked Saylor Beall, but for the same compressor it was $1300 more or so. I just couldn't justify that. I almost bought a 5HP 60 gallon Champion that was in the $1750 range, but I wanted this to be the last compressor I buy. Which is why I am planning on putting an auto drain on it also..and some sort of cooling device..either a radiator or a refrigerated air dryer (down the road).

Then I looked at Eaton Max silent air...just didn't do anything for me. Seemed like snake oil on the huge silencer...not sure why, but I just felt that. I bought mine from TPTools.com...they were less expensive than the same compressor at other sites.
