Default is a 2 tank compressor better than a 1 tank compressor?

I'm looking at buying a Sears #00916636000 Mfr. model #16636 (one 5
gal tank) or #00916638000 Mfr. model #16638 (two 2 gal tanks)--
wondering which would be better.

Will using around the home for home projects.


I would go with the one 5 gallon tank.

Advantages:
One tank to drain water from, not two


Do I have to drain a compressor often if I just keep it charged up in
the garage for bike tires etc. and the occasional use of brad nailers etc.?
Less weight
More capacity
On sale!

Disadvantages:
Requires slightly more space to store

The motor size and specs of both units appear otherwise equal.
