The 2 gallon is cheaper, lighter, and refills faster.
This has a pretty powerful motor and puts out more than ones with a larger tank.
If you need a larger tank model just buy this and add a extra tank. Or like did. Add just the tank from a old broken air compressor.
But this is already good enough for most things.

I have the big mac5200 and it's a beast. Quite a bit louder, but wayyy more powerful.

May I ask what purpose necessitates this to be used several times a week?
I don't have much space in the garage, and for the size to function I think it is worthwhile. For the zone with the longest line, it takes a while, so I keep doing it patiently 3- 4 times (lack of CFM) till only hisses are heard. The Makita has been great in blowing out portable fans & heaters, filling air in tires, cleaning computer parts, dyson parts, ballons, etc. One thing I never got to doing was using air tools on it, when it was one of my original reasons for buying it 5 years ago. These days the price of impact wrenches has dropped so much... don't makes sense to drag a hose around. This Makita has been great 5 thumbs up!
