Air Compressor??

I'm looking to replace my small hand me down air compressor as it's tank has finally rusted through and I question how long it will last. I would prefer a smaller vertical unit, and I really want a reciprocating oil filled pump. I don't care for the oil-less units because of noise and durability concerns.

Can anyone recommend a decent compressor for me? I was looking at Sears, but their only vertical unit with a traditional style pump is not rated well and it's pump is made of aluminum. TSC also carries a 60 gallon IR unit with a nice cast iron pump, but it would probably be overkill for my needs at this point. I would like to stay in the $500 price range if possible.
