Would like something to handle multiple tasks and be portable. Oil free is probably longer lasting; but maybe more inconvient. And about $100 more. Would it have enough CFM for a sander? Any thoughts or opinions?
Jim, some of those compressors can be very loud, I mean very loud. it states 78 dba but I suggest hearing it run before you buy it. I'd also check your hand tool CFM requirements.

Yes, funny how a change from 70 db to 80db is twice as loud, and up to 90 db is twice as loud as 80db, make 90 4 times as loud as 70. No air tools yet. I see Eastwood has a sander that only requires 4 cfm @90lb. Mainly looking to handle a 1/2 and 3/8 impact, a small sander, and a HVLP Paint gun as well as give me air when I need it. Susses to be 78db

I would prefer a comp with oil to lube it and 125psi. 90 psi isn't going to power a 1/2" impact long before you'll need to wait for the compressor to catch up.

Is the 200 psi not correct?

Sorry, I was only reading the specs at 90 psi. I didn't see it maxed at 200. You would need an inline regulator to run a sander at that pressure and possibly many air tools that are not rated for that much pressure. The air would last longer coming down from that high...
