I would agree Quincy are some of the best piston pumps made. But if you want the Rolls Royce, you have to go to a rotary screw compressor. I've never seen one below 10HP but I should look around.

Can you wire up a 3 phase if you have single phase or does that play with the type of service coming into the building?

[Rodsmachineshop]

no you have single phase would have to call most likly the compressor on craigslist is single since dont find 3 phase very often

You can use a phase converter, or a VFD. But it would be best to change the motor for a compressor.
