All, 

Thanks for all the help a while back on compressors. I found a unit that will 
fill all of my needs, and at a very reasonable price. 

Does anyone have any experience with PorterCable compressors? The unit I 
decided on is a 7HP oil filled 60 gallon unit. 

http://www.porter-cable.com/cgi-bin/products.cgi?method=byid&prod_id=CPLC7060V 

Product details are as follows: 

Compressor, Model #CPLC7060V 
7 HP(peak), 60 gallon stationary oil lube compressor 
vertical tank 
220 Volt induction motor with manual thermal overload protection 
Higher operating pressure for more work. 110 PSI start and 135 PSI stop 
High output of air: 12.1 SCFM @ 40 PSI/9.7 SCFM @ 90 PSI 
Cast iron cylinder sleeves 
Pump contains automotive style pistons, rings and connecting rods 
Large tank pressure gauge 
Full-size belt guard 
Patented automatic belt tensioning device 
CUL listed with ASME constucted air tank and safety valve to meet codes 

And for only $375 + tax. Now I just need to make a decision on quality. Good
Reviews/Bad Reviews on PorterCable compressors? It's local, so I can pick it
up with the Outback. I wonder if it'll be a problem lying it on it's side for
the trip home. Anyone know if the oil is filled at the factory?
