It is mainly going to be used as a crown stapler and for putting in trim.
Any info would be appreciated.  And I am trying to keep it under $500 for the compressor, hose, couplings and atleast 1 gun, preferably 2 for now.

Look at Home Depot. They have some small Rigids that come with guns, should be just what you need. Dual cylinders, not bad price.

The only problem with the small ones is that the tanks drain too fast to keep certain air tools running. That's why I went with the one you saw the other day, I can run my air grinder, cutoff wheel, shear without waiting for the pump to keep up.

I never showed you, in the garage I have a nipple to route air to the (future) basement workshop and for when I go to frame it up.

Edit: Here's a Porter Cable pancake kit
