When I worked in a shop that had a compressor and a floor pump I used the floor pump much of the time. It had a single-hole head that fit on presta and schraeder, a nice guage, and didn't make all that racket.

Compressor Accurate to what PSI ? LBS one, its maintained at 70PSI, we still need the hand pump to reach anything Higher.
EVT supplies a Y hose and 1 of each head, on the end .. with a quick disconnect for using air powered tools.

The combo will only set you back about $560, but you said you wanted a "great" pump.

I don't even bother with a gauge, I just set the regulator on compressor. around 40 for kids bmxs, 60 for wife and my mtbs and 80 for my 700x38 hybrid.

I have a Bontrager floor pump with the air pressure gage clear up at the top for easy viewing while pumping. It 5 or 6 years old and works perfect.

Bontrager floor pump bought on sale during the off season. Used to use a compressor, but this is much faster.

I bought a Pedro's Prestige last year. Works pretty well so far. I bought it at the same time I bought a bike with a $50 off coupon, so basically I bought the bike and got a free pump.

I like that it is orange. It makes it easier to find when the wife and kids decide to put stuff "away" in the garage.
