Buying a new 80 gallon 2 stage 175 psi compressor

My 25 year old compressor of same specs is getting old and tired taking longer to top off tank and general in-use CFM run time.

otherwise compressor runs fine.

Looked into rebuild kits for my 2 stage pump, a new pump only, or new pump/motor combo to just change what's on top of my Tank now.

After considering all options and parts price and labor, I could just sell my whole used one and replace new for not much more.

Sorta Narrowed Choice down to 2 units:

https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-80-Gallon-2-Stage-175-5HP-Stationary-Electric-Air-Compressor/5000045531



I want to keep it under $2K. It's just for my personal use not commercial.


Any other suggestions? Looked on Amazon, Ebay, Northern Tool, Compressor World, and other industrial sources.

Which do you suggest between my 2 choices and/or other units.?

Trust me, I won't blow off your answers (pun intended)
