I guess you could say my usage would fall into the "hobby" category. I need it to air up tires and the rare use of an air tool.

Thanks to all that have replied. I was ready to buy one (looked at the Rigid) but then started seeing all the reviews and noticing that everything is the same. I'd be fine with spending additional money if I knew I were buying a product that would last a long time with serviceable parts, but I should accept the fact that I'm buying what is considered a disposable tool in the professional world. As has been suggested, buy one for around $100 run it until it breaks and replace. Sad world we live in these days.
