   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.
