Hi, Larry.
FWIW, a 2-stage compressor will compress more air to a higher pressure
using the same power. In other words, it is more efficient and more
effective. Because of the compressibility of air, the more stages
used to reach a given pressure, the better. Economics is usually the
limiting factor. Rarely do compressors use more than two stages,
except for special circumstances (very high pressures, for instance.)
