My old Freon bottle has a pop-off valve (integrated with the $7 conversion
kit from JCW), and is much easier to carry through doors.  It also has that
nifty shutoff valve, which means I can air up the car tires (once) without
having to fire up the compressor and wait for it to build pressure.

Plus the cheap red tank rusted out years ago ...
