Well, after having a Nomad II for about a year & used it more than I should have it finally to a crap. I tried to repair it but was unsuccessful. Anyways, I needed another portable compressor & was not going to overuse this one because I have 2 other bigger compressors that I use daily. So, I decided on the GX-E-CS3-1 this time. The price was very attractive $435 shipped and I have a larger GX stationary compressor which I have had good luck with so far. I mainly use the compressor to fill my Hubens to 300bar. I recieved it yesterday and tired it out this morning. The GX worked like it should. Hopefully it will last.
