Default Portable Air Compressor

After getting ripped off to re-fill my tires at a gas station recently, I decided it was time to try an alternative. Bought this for $49 (shipping included) on Amazon. Only took 4 days to arrive on my front doorstep - haven't tried it out yet, but I like the idea of having a source for air while out on the trail, as well as a means to fill up after a ride.

amazon.com/Industries-MF-1052-MasterFlow-Q-Maxx-Compressor/dp/B000NCO6D2/ref=sr_1_13/179-0325735-8717143?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1235538438&sr=1-13

Edit: Oh yeah, O'Reilly Auto Parts wants $70 for the same unit. They go by model numbers MV50, MF-1050, and MF-1052.

Hey Recon, how'd these work out? Saw some threads where folks were claiming better mileage, performance, etc after installation.
