I have one of the PC pancakes at home and it will keep up with most
nailer needs if you can stand the noise. I don't have any experience
with trying to run a spray gun with it.
Honestly though, I can't hardly stand to listen to it. We have a big
2 cylinder Emglo an the job that doesn't make nearly the noise that
the little PC does.

I have the little Senco. It took 5 minutes to put 5psi into my son's SUV
tire!
However the ease of carrying it out, and the relative quiet may have been
ample compensation.

I have both the Senco and the PC pancake. I use the Senco more, but there
are occassions (blowing out the filter on my DC) that the Senco is simply
inadequate.

Unless you are darn sure the Senco will do everything you want, I suggest
the PC.
