[Wing] Compressor -- good deal?

[Marc Degirolamo]

Rick......I built my RV with a 2.5hp 20gal compressor.....but it would not have been suitable for painting. the one you are looking at should be able to handle all your needs for building......

      Wing members,

      Although I'm not quite ready to commit to building an RV, I'm thinking ahead to useful shop equipment.  I found the following on the Campbell-Hausfeld website.  According to a half-hour or so of research on the Matronics RV archive, this device looks like it would be more than adequate, even for painting.  And the price looks reasonable, again judging by the archives.

      I like the idea of cast iron, since I gather it would be more durable than steel, and my ears like the idea of oil-lubricated.

      Am I missing something here?  (Wouldn't be the first time.)

      Thanks for your thoughts.
