Default Compressor question, a bit off topic but shop related

It's about time to look for a new air compressor.

I've had a 20gal "portable" (interpret that as roll-around-tank-mounted) for about 20 years and want
to stay with that configuration. (space limitations and useage almost require that I stay with that
config.)

I think the field is narrowed down to two units. .

The Quincy 20gal horz., 2Hp single stage, 115VAC 19Amp, 7.5CFM @ 90 PSI.

and the

Ingersoll Rand 30gal horz., 2Hp single stage, 115VAC, 5.7CFM @ 90 PSI.

Any one have pro's or con's on these that would help me make a decision?

Thanks

Well, consumer grade stuff is all junk - so stay with contractor
grade at a minimum.
