Right now, either one would do the job just fine. The Atlas/Craftsman is pretty compact even though it has more capacity and a few more inches between centers. At this point it comes down to 6 of 1 or 1/2 a dozen of the other. Pretty much a toss up so it depends if a nice 12 x36 comes along before the urge to order a PM 1030V. Thanks again for the input.
