Keep or trade off shoebox f8?

[dodge3500]

I just recently got a new unused shoebox f8 and have become a bit torn about what I want to do now with it?I was all excited about getting it but after looking at all the extras needed to filter all the moisture to ensure dry clean air I'm already considering trading or selling it off.

I already have oilless Shop compressor but I'll need a moisture and debris filter after shop compressor then after shoebox another moisture filter to ensure clean dry air.
I'm looking at about another 400$ to get started pumping my own air.

What do you guys think?
Should I finish what I got started or maybe trade her off for say a great white tank set to add to my already double 88 Scott air pack set that would ensure very long times between going to get them all topped back off.

Lol I've looked at soo many different filters I think my head is gonna explode.
Help/ideas/some direction
Thanks

How far is it to where you'll get your tanks filled?

Meh,maybe 30 min and about 5 bucks a tank.

I consulted the Seers of Delphi, they said according to the entrails of a goat, it should be sold to someone whose name rhymes with bladdertruth at a bargain basement price.

 You got a compressor, F8 and moisture collector to maintain. 30 minute drive fill two tanks combine trip with other errands, at additional 400.00 your looking at 80 fills.

It depends on how much shooting you are doing and plan to do. 
If you don't mind, and it's not a big deal for you to go fill your tanks, I'd sell it. They usually sell pretty quickly. Also, I think we may see advancements coming in the home high pressure compressor area that will bring the prices down while maintaining quality (just a feeling I have).

Well I.m still smiling over "bladdertruth". The seers are correct!

I have the F10. Like the name implies............ Freedom to always have a full tank, and on your own time. I personally like my tank full, and never worry about if I should get it filled. I just top it off when I want.

This compressor is tried and true. Maybe a little slow but most maintenance can be done by you. You definitely need a moisture separator and will need one for about all the low cost chinese compressors. You will have to go with the Daystate or Bauer level to get a separator with a compressor. You will not have a problem getting rid of the shoebox but you will probably spend more than $400 to get something better.
