Hi all, newbie here

I'm looking for a new air compressor that has a tank and gonna use it for my scale modelling hobby and for tires etc... etc.

What is the best compressor to buy? brand? power output?

Upon walking in T. Alonzo I saw a lot of compressors:

Vespa 2 HP Direct coupler
Vespa Belt drive 1/4 HP - 2 HP
Jr. Kawasaki 2 HP Direct coupler
Power Star 2 HP Direct coupler
Power Max 2 HP Direct coupler

etc....

Why is the vespa 2hp direct coupler is cheaper than the belt drive? And why they look the same as the other direct coupler compressors?

Which is the best one to buy?

How can I spot the Legit vespa form the Fake ones?
