Two issues:

1. Presta valves are a bitch to do with these compressors. I
am in the roofing business and run 8 high-volume high-pressure
roofing guns off of one compressor; but I can never seem to
get the 140psi in the tanks to result in 125psi in my presta
road tire.

Unless anybody's found a presta nozzle that I can attach to
the compressor.

2. The quality of the air in compressors with tanks can be
less than perfect. You may find moisture is being pumped
into your tire...and sometimes it's pretty icky moisture,
not just clean water.

It's fine for my beast of a mountain bike, but my refined
road bike deserves better!

Getting a presta nozzle to fit on the air nozzle shouldn't be a big problem.
If you're worried about contamination in the air lines, there are several
air-line cleaners available. They filter moisture and oil from the line.
If you're needing 140psi, then yes that compressor is not for you. I have
found mine very handy...good luck.
