I had both styles of connectors in my shop for a while. I have a home
made adaptor to fix one to the other. When I recently plumbed my shop
this past year(many of you might remember that saga) I found a connector
at lowes that fits BOTH male types.
I bought all they had and used them at all my access points. They aren't
as good in my opinion for releasing tools (sometimes they are a pain to
release) but tools go in easier and they do fit both types of connectors
nicely.
Check your local lowes.

Re: [Shop-talk] Portable air tanks?
Regarding couplers I have been using the Milton "M" style for
decades, no problems. When I was working at Bailey's I made
a short adapter that would plug into his I style and let me plug
in my M style tools.
Back when I was homebrewing on a regular basis I saw some quick
connect garden hose fittings, thought they would be handy for shuffling
stuff around in the brewery. They worked well. Once I found out
you couldn't disconnect them under pressure like air fittings.
That was festive.
