I have the AC200 & it seems to work fine for me. Just a little noisy because it doesn't have a tank, but tank compressors are much larger. I'm not familar with the Badger compressor, but the AC200 comes with everything you need, regulator & the moisture trap. The AC200 has the standard adapter found on almost all compressors, large and small. The adapter is probably less than five dollars, but you'll need to get the one with the bleeder hole since it is tankless. Even if you do end up with the adapter without the bleeder hole, you can always drill one into the side. Instructions on how to set up your airbrush for both types, tank & tankless, is included in the instruction booklet that came with your Badger airbrush. Now if I had to do it all over again, purchasing a compressor, I would probably go with a regular tank compressor from sears or home depot. Purchase a moisture trap, if it didn't seem right in the family room, set it up in the garage & run a hose up to my modeling table. Whatever you decide, this beats countless cans of air, both in convience & cost. Happy shopping.
