It used to be the big difference was air pressure, generally single
stage was 125psi and two stage were 175psi. Lately however I have seen
single stage with 150 and 160psi so that is no longer a rule.
But the higher pressure is important because a 60gal or 80gal tank with
175psi of air is storing a huge amount more than 125psi, compressor works
less with more air stored.
