small air compressor recommendation - PC vs Hitachi vs other

[kansascats]

any recommendations for/against:

Porter Cable C2002 -- $134 free shipping Hitachi EC89 - 102.90 + 15 ship Hitachi EC501 - 81.90 free ship

prices from bigskytool.com for reconditioned units

Did you run a framing nailer with it by chance?

This would be for DIYer only use -- occassional framing (basement finish), finish nailer, etc.

The EC501 for $81.90 is very price attractive -- is it near the quality of the PC? The EC89 has an oil pump.. and a bit more CFM.. but there's probably a reason the PC is holding it's value..

Thanks -- that's what I'm looking for. If I do some framing it will be a few nails per minute at best.
