Default Airbrush Specific Compressor *Suggestions/Help

Using with an Iwata.... HP-C Plus

Replacing an Ancient Badger 180-11 With a Iwata Moisture Trap.

Specs I could find:
1cfm @20psi

So not much. Here are the three Im looking at.

Likes:
Quietness
Weight
PSI
Portability

Grex 1/8 HP Portable Piston Air Compressor

Iwata Smart Jet Compressor

Paasche DA400R Air Compressor

Quietness: ?? Im assuming the Paasche comes in last.
Iwata: ??
Grex: 55 dcb
Paashe: ??

Weight:
Iwata: 8
Grex: 11
Paashe: 12.2

PSI:
Paache 1.48 CFM
Grex 0.7 cfm
Iwata 0.64 CFM

FWIW all of them have at least 10psi pressure more than current Badger.

Portability:
Grex: With the nice handle
Iwata:
Paashe:


Price is nothing beyond $260, so if you have more options you think are good please let me know. Again looking to upgrade, not side grade specs, with a compressor just for Airbrushing.
