Not familiar with this unit, but a big fan of the brand.

I run the Viar Heavy Duty on board kit. Very happy with it. Only issue I experienced was the regulator went out, but Viar replaced it no questions asked. If you have questions give them a call. They are very knowledgeable and helpful over the phone.

I bought the 300P a few years ago for filling up my jeep tires. Depends on how long you want to wait for a tire to fill. The brand is awesome. I recently added a better hose, the plastic one is a pita in the winter.

I think I debated between this one and the 70/73p and went for the 73p. If I recall it was the duty cycle that got me to go for the 73p. The 73p runs directly off a battery, it draws too much current for a 12V lighter/adapter.

I just got a 70P for my corvette due to taking off the run flats and putting normal tires on it. Good to have incase of a slow leak or picking up a nail I can plug while on the road until I make to a shop that can put in a patch from the inside. Very small and fit in trunk cubby hole perfect with some plugs, pliers, etc. Bought some alligator clips just incase the cigarette holder cannot support as you mentioned and if stranded that way I can hook directly to the battery.

I tried it out on my wives suv to make sure it was functional and it worked awesome. Took very little time to air up the tire. You can't go wrong with a viair from what I goggled and amazon reviews.
