Viair air ride compressors

Hello boys n girls. Question. I'm running a single, viair 480c compressor to (1) 5 gallon air tank. There are several vendors on ebay that are selling the viair 444c compressor very cheaply, for $155.00. Would it be a good idea, cause I'm cheap, to buy this compressor to add to my air system? What are the pros and cons to using the viair 444c compressor with my viair 480c compressor? I know the 480c would be a better choice, but I'm cheap. I'm not an expert, but I feel (2) compressors are better than one. Would you buy another 480c or the 444c and pocket the cash? Thanks for the help. Chime in quick. I want to buy another compressor soon.

Re: Viair air ride compressors

Since no one could answer this question or provide any insight, i guess the only obvious answer would be to buy and run a dual viair 480c compressor setup, drop the viair 444c compressor idea, and not be cheap. clark.

Re: Viair air ride compressors

What turns off the compressor? Or when does stop sending air to the tank? It works very fast, to fill the air tank. I would like to see you try it first David.

Re: Viair air ride compressors

Tinydb84, Text me. I have a new phone. Also what compressor would you buy? Since you are a perfectionist, I'll assume you would buy the viair 480c compressor.
