AMK (Arnott) Air Compressor on Ebay - $366
After all the suspension compressor discussion, I decided to buy an AMK compressor. Apparently the Arnott version, P-2594, of the AMK compressor A1991, is old stock but still being sold; the new Arnott P-3214 is 100% grade-A Chinesium.
$366 isn't a huge discount, but if you anticipate needing a compressor, why not.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it's a nice new Chinesium compressor.
I don't know that the 3214 is bad, but I do know I installed one in mid 2018 that lasted all of 17k miles. The new ones could be better, but why chance it?

Ordered and received a nice AMK A1991 compressor:

$375
Same vendor as what sold me the Arnott Chinesium, pretending it was AMK. Man, the arguments they gave (b-b-b-but it fits! global supplier! it's the newer part!), but no resistance to the return.
