My reg is set just a hair under 150 bar. I’m getting approximately 10 top-offs from 150-250bar off my great white tank setup (complete kit). Seems a bit low to me, but maybe not. Sure was hoping for 20-25. Last time I only got 8. But usually 9-11. Guess it’s temperature dependent since the weather has been crazy here. Approximately how many top-offs do you guys get with a 480cc tank from 150-250bar on each size 4500 psi tank (97, 73, n 18cu ft)?
Impact/crown vs top offs per tank

There's a tank fill calculator on AOA's web page at the very bottom. I have an 88cuft tank and get about 10 from 155bar to 250bar.

I'm getting unlimited fills, and one hell of a workout with my Hill MK4 hand pump and Impact. It's kind of funny - I have had to do more arm curls lately, to balance out the muscle tone in my arms due to using the hand pump.
I'm shopping for a new tank and/or compressor this week. I had thought about getting a Tiger Shark, but the numbers show a Great White would probably suit me better.

I loved my tank, I wished I could have afforded to keep it. There's no beating the convenience of being able to connect and fill so quickly.
However, if I was without my compressor the other day, I'd have used all the top end in my tank in one Chrono session and would have been looking to get filled again.
If you're on the fence about which to get, a tank or small compressor, this might help you decide. If I had to do it over again, I'd have bought the compressor over the tank.
Yes it takes 8 minutes to fill instead of 1 minute or less. But I never have to worry about it running out of air.

@Bob_O - interesting. I'm exactly that; on the fence between a tank and compressor lol. The only compressors that seem decent to me are >$2K, so it's tough justifying the price tag over a large tank

Justifying the price. Now that's some funny stuff right there. Dont really know how we justify any of this PCP madness.

I get that. In my case, I do not live in an area where I can (legally) shoot without driving 4-5 hours r/t. It makes more sense for me to get a tank, since it'd be a ~5yr breakeven for a compressor (if I bought a compressor, I wouldn't buy anything less than a Nardi, I don't do Chinesium).
