I guess it depends on what you want/expect. I've been using a 50lb R22
bottle as an air tank since about 1977, and it still does what I need. I
particularly like that I can fill it and close the valve, and have it still
be full months later. Although it doesn't hold as much, it is probably half
the weight of the air tank my Dad had. But I only use it for filling tires
and such, when the flat is too far away to reach with an air hose.
