Default Air Compressor/Air Sanding

I am looking for an air compressor to use for Air Sanding for Woodturning.
I saw a 60 Gallon Ingersoll Rand that has 90psi and 11.3 CFM.

There is another 60 Gallon Ingersoll Rand that has 90 psi and 15.5 cfm. It
of course costs more.

Then there is an 80 Gallon Ingersoll Rand that has 15.8 cfm. Again it costs
a few hundred more than the 60 gallon 15.5 cfm.

Would the 11.3 cfm be enough for a 2" Random Orbital sander and air drill or
should I go for the 80 gallon.

Curious what others are using. I hate to buy a sixty gallon and then find
out that it won't keep up.

Thanks, John Gbur
