Looking at pressurized media blasters

Hi all.
I'm looing into getting a "pot" blaster for soda blasting my TR body. Right now I'm leaning twards the Clarke 10 Gal. unit at Tractor Supply.
Clarke Sand Blaster
My air compressor is at the ragged edge of being able to run this, but from what I've read, a pressurized unit is more efficient than a siphon unit. I looked at the little siphon unit that Sears sells, but kind of went back to this one. I have a Clarke cabinet. It had been good. Although my compressor does not keep up with it. I have to take breaks often and let it rest.
I know that will be a problem with this unit too, but right now I can't get a bigger compressor, so I'm trying to find the most efficient unit for what I have.
I've talked to some guys locally that have done soda blasting. the consensus is that you use a small nozzle, and it works just fine.
Just wondered If I was missing any good units out there that I should be considering.
Thanks.
Banjo
