What are you trying to accomplish, why do you want/need the tank(s)? If using a compressor, tank capacity is good for burst air needs (like air tools), bad for sustained need (airing up). In our air up testing, a tank makes the first tire faster, the rest slower, the overall time for 4 tires is faster without a tank.
The Puma has a 1.5gal tank, good compromise, allows air tool use, without a big hit on air up time. Temporally added an 4gal tank, the test showed significantly longer overall air up time, without significant improvement in air tool use, at least how we need/use them on the trail.
