the bigger the tank, the more shots...
But also the higher the pressure of the tank, the more shots.

4500psi 68ci = 50% more shots than 3000psi 68ci

3000*68 = 204,000 ----- 4500*45 = 202,500

so 4500psi 45ci contains almost the same amount of air when fully filled and will be noticably lighter and smaller.

But then you have to take into account that most sites only fill to 3000psi... how many shots are you going to make between fills??

My personal preference would go for the smaller bottle - just because it makes the marker setup lighter, smaller and easier to throw around.

Ye but problem is he said TIGHT BUDGET. Or i would agree 100%. If you can spend the extra 20 then go for it.
even if you are on a tight budget, you will still want to go for the 4500 tank. he will only upgrade in a few months and have wasted all that money he spent on the 3000 tank
