Well the new compressor has landed. Was a very simple unbox and startup, basically just pull out of the package, add coolant and go. I gave it a few dead head tests to make sure it got to pressure easy and held after shutoff. Then I hooked up the 6.8l tank and gave it its first run. From 200 up to 300 bar took under 20 mins and it is very quiet, a fraction as loud as a yong heng.

A couple of things to point out, it is a heavy beast. You certainly wouldn't want to make a normal thing of bringing it with you anywhere. It does have small wheels to help wheel it around on hard smooth surfaces.

Compared to a yong heng, there was minimal to no moisture coming through the line. I will run an inline filter for tank filling but see no point for gun fills.

Overall its a straight forward piece of machinery and time will tell how it holds up. For the price I do expect it to be trouble free for quite some time, but I will absolutely advise if I have issues.
 
My thought process was I never regretted going up to the high end realm of airguns, so hopefully the higher end accessories will be worth it the same.
In theory it should work that way, fingers crossed!

At least, for me, the YH are so easy to work on, and cheap, that I never have any anxiety over their health or future. Every time I get a successful fill I'm happy and feel I've got my money's worth out of them, additional fills are all gravy.
