Well Tony, I'm told that bigger is always better!
Based on your compressor HP, it will be close as to whether or not you will have enough air, particularly if you plan on using either tool continuously.
You may need to stop fairly often and let the compressor catch up so that your pressure is maintained.
If I had the budget, I'd go larger, but then I'd need to wire it with 220 Volts, not 110.
Cheers,
Bill
