Recommended high-volume floor-type bicycle pumps?

Our trusty floor bicycle pump is falling apart after many years of use,
mostly for maintaining automobile tire pressure.
So, I'm looking to replace it with a *high-volumetric-capacity*
floor-type hand bicycle pump.
What brands/models are recommended based on durability/reliability,
volumetric capacity, accuracy of built-in pressure gauge, etc.?
[Note that I am NOT interested in a portable car battery powered pump,
which don't work much better than high-capacity floor-type hand pumps
anyway. If I ever need the higher capacity (and so far have not needed
it), I'd get a refillable air canister (the 6 gallon, 100 psi type).]
So, what do you recommend?
I'm quite happy with one of these Beto floor pumps:

It cost somewhat less than CDN $30, at Mountain Equipment Co-op.
The built-in gauge compares pretty closely to my hand-held gauge.
cheers,
Tom
