Hill 3000 or GX CS4

I know one member who ordered off Amazon and had some issues, but he did finally get one that's working. Looks like DeanB got he last one from GX Pump. They do ship quick, I believe they have several U.S. based warehouses they ship from. I got mine diect from GX Pump in a couple days.
They shipped mine this morning or at least created the UPS label.

For filling guns only, I'd go GX CS2 or CS3, not worries with coolant and they work great. I'm a fan and have two CS2 compressors and 1 CS3. Not a single problem with either and they have been filling eight pcp rifles for over 8 months so far. No need for coolant, silicone oil, nothing, just a maintenance greasing every several months.
I like having the option to get a big tank and fill if I want to, when I did some pest control back in late 1990s early 2000s I used a big tank to take with me to fill my Career and Falcon air rifles. Coolant/water shouldnt be a hassle once filled except for maint intervals.
 
Nice. Where did you get it. I was trying to avoid off shore to get faster delivery. Bill and Addi.
If you order from GX Pump direct, they ship from one of their U.S. warehouses, so you should have it within a few days. Here's a link to their website:

Compressor came today, flushed it out and filled with distilled water(going to put some Dex Cool in it as soon as I get it). Set to 5800 psi and it pumped up to 3000 psi and I could hear a loud hissing at back of machine.. stopped it let air out and took cover off, fired it back up and once it got to about 2500 psi I could hear the leak coming from the out outlet on motor.. shut off bled air then loosened fitting and held it up against back washer while I tightened it, problem fixed.. she works like a charm now, quiet and decent fill speed.
 
Which would you choose and why, only filling guns no tanks.. been looking for the GX E CS4 but cant seem to find it in stock anywhere.
AOA has the Hill for 1289 plus sh/tax..CS4 with external inverter is 659.00 so quite a price difference.
If you've had both please list pros/cons, problems etc. thanks in advance.
I already own a Tuxing 042 which I bought for about the same price as my GX CS4 which I recently purchased and used for the first time today. Topped off my 74cf 4500psi carbon fiber tank from 1800 to 4500. This little unit is quiet, powerful, almost vibration-free and easy to use. I think I am going to like it. I added a filter. Used distilled water and "Water Wetter." Bought mine off Amazon for $659. Ordered on 11 May and it arrived 18 May.

I can get a Hill 300 from AGS or Tuxing 032 from amazon, and just today somebody offered me somone in other Forum a Benjamin Recharge (he said he bought two and one is still BNIB ???)
I am filling 3 large fireman tanks at least ones a month with my YH. This YH have about 65 hrs on it and I shall do some surgery for forth time now again, kind of annoying.
Which of those 3 compressors would you chose, at the current moment only these available in Canada from a "mid class".
 
Lets get the facts right!! At no time did i say that one is still BNIB
Here was my communication. "Any interest in a Benjamin Recharge compressor? I have 2 and I am going to sell one"
I am sorry don't take me wrong, my bad... my question to compare the 3 compressors was honest.

Edit: My assumption for your asking price was my mixup, just realized next day from a post...

I bought a yong heng hardback and it was missing a couple pieces. Had been opened. On a thread where someone was asking for the user manual (mind didn't come with one either) I mentioned needing one and flounder piped in about the cs4. I had seen the cs3 before and passed because of it but this prompted me to do research and rethink. Long story short I returned the yong heng today and ordered a cs4. A little worried about having to troubleshoot the grease pump and not looking forward to the flush procedure (does anyone know how to drain these without using a brake bleeder?) But the heat control, noise difference, higher psi rating (I've been eyeballing a gk1) and lack of a need for the external water bucket and keeping ice sold me on the difference.
