I'm not familiar with these systems but I think the only difference is 4 wheel motion. You get the same tank and compressor with both kits. An extra tank isn't going to make you faster. It will just provide more storage so you don't pump the guts out your compressor. To be fast you need large ports,lines, and valves. You also need a larger compressor in order to maintain high usuable pressure all the time. Adding a 2nd tank and still using 1 compressor will slow down your fill times making you wait minutes to raise your truck if the pressure switch doesn't cut on fast enough. You see while your hitting the switches like crazy it drains the tank like hell lets say you start at 150psi and you switch cuts you on to pump at 110, well up and down a few times and you down to 110, on comes the compressor and it starts trying to fill not 1 but 2 tanks back up to 145-150psi. Its working its ass off and your still playing with the switches at the redlight, your pressure keeps dropping and your tank is barely maintaining 90 much less building pressure. After awhile you realize that you have to sit there and leave everything alone for a while to let your pressure build up. What you really need is 2 100%duty cycle compressors and 1 fairly large (7gall) tank. That way they won't call you slow bags cause you won't have to wait for fill times. You can hit 150psi twice as fast and throw that to your bags to lift you way off the ground in the hurry. I hope this all makes sense.
