Air compressor recommendations?

I’m looking for an air compressor and after researching them a bit I found myself being walked up the cost curve. I found recommendations for at least 5 cfm, then found that oil lube and belt driven is better. Compressors with these features push the price to $500 and up and are much bigger units.

I first started looking one because the small tankless POS one I have just to blow up tires died. I just got a hobby car (’87 930) and thought I might as well get one that can handle air tools. Could some of these specs be relaxed thinking I can upgrade later if I need to. Or just bite the bullet and get one that fits future needs?
