60G Single Stage Compressor

I'm considering replacing my sears air compressor with a larger one. One has caught my eye that has a 60 G tank and puts out 10 CFM at 90 psi. I like this compressor because it more than doubles what I currently have without being a sledgehammer when a regular hammer is needed. It's also a Quincy, which is supposed to run quietly and it will be in the same room I am working.

I have concerns with running my mini-die grinder and other more 'air hungry' tools with it. I don't plan on using any super air hungry tools such as sanders. Yet, it would suck to pick up a new compressor and still be lacking the air needed.

Can anyone share their experience with their compressors? What has worked and what hasn't?

Turtle is an unknown quantity at this point
I can tell you we have a 19?? Keystone
compressor 120 gallon we pulled off a demo of a gas station to convenience store. It has run strong ever since and never has had any problems

It will probably explode this week!!!!!!

Anyway it is belt driven as compared to a direct drive unit which a lot of them are now. It is definitely not quiet but my feeling on that is when it does need to run im using something that is making noise anyway. I dont know anything about quincys but I feel if it is belt driven it will last

If any of that helps great
