Any compressor is worth the money when you're on the trail with a flat!
I have the old type ARB compressor running my diffs but it is nowhere near capable enough for inflating tyres, would take ages. I have heard that the new HO compressor is MUCH better but as you say, is expensive.
I carry the britpart twin pump type that cost me about 80 quid and takes around 5 mins to inflate my 33x12.5x15 from 12psi to 35psi.
However I was out wheeling with some guys last year and one of them had the new tmax HO compressor, the one with the black handle and it is basically a yellow square box with all the gubbins inside of course, but it seemed even better than mine, smaller, quieter and greater output unloaded for sure, not sure about output under load but it certainly didn't hang around inflating a 35" hankook. I think there are a few different types of tmax but it was the one with the yellow box around it and the black pump head.
Cheers
