Default Makita vs P.C. - twin stack compressor

I've narrowed my choice of small compressors down to two - The Makita
MAC2400 and the Porter Cable CPLDC2540S. Both are practically the same
cost so I'm trying to determine which features are more useful.

The two biggest differences are the run speed and the tank pressure.

The Makita runs at only 1720 rpm vs. 3450 for the P.C. - that makes the
Mak quieter and potentially longer lasting.

The P.C. has a 150psi (vs. 130) rating which squeezes more volume from
a small compressor.

Because of the higher pressure, I'm leaning toward the P.C.. Anything
else I should consider? I'm assuming either of these would be a quality
tool.

Thanks
