Totally agree. The CFM rating is a bit low for me and truthfully you need to "buy ahead" for what you will need, and not what you need today.
I have a Harbor Freight compressor and its 14 cfm @ 90 psi, and the only time I run out of air is extensive use with a sand blast cabinet.
Also if at all possible, try to get a 220 volt version. Really worth the hassle if you need to run conduit and much easier on the pocket book when the electrical bill comes.
