HI Brian,
I know it is more that you want to spend, but I have a IR Titanium--very

You can dial it back so that it will not over-power anything.
Your compressor will be fine as you will be running off the tank, not the
pump, unless you run the tank pressure to below 80 psi, or whatever you set
your regulator to.
