A thought has crossed my mind a few times of getting a compressor. I haven't investigated it very seriously yet, but I'm sure a lot of folks must have done a thorough analysis of the available options (getting a compressor vs. paying for individual fills vs. getting unlimited fills or a volume discount or some such in a friendly shop that may not necessarily be around the corner, and just investing in a larger fleet of tanks to minimize the overhead). I'm curious what the overall numbers look like, both in terms of financial cost (initial price + all the maintenance) and time cost (repairs, overseeing the fills, etc.). I'm guessing that for most folks, it's more a matter of convenience than it is a matter of real $$$ saving. I'm curious, though, how much convenience one's actually getting after one considers all the factors, and how much one really pays for that convenience, all things considered. I'm sure the numbers are all over the place, and largely depend on everyone's highly specific individual circumstances, I'm just curious to see a bunch of concrete examples if anyone is willing to share. Sorry if all this has been covered already, nothing immediately jumped at me during my brief search attempts. Thanks!
