Bigger compressor recommendation

I need to move to a bigger compressor, something capable of running cutoff wheels and, more important, sand blasting for extended periods. My 120V, 5hp Craftsman is fine for air tools but I get about a minute of sand blasting before it can't keep up. I think its 6CFM at 90psi.

I'd like something that's in the 15CFM range or better, and quiet is a bonus. I'm presuming I'll have to go 240V, which is fine. Just a home shop, so one user, and I don't want to spend $5K on the thing!

Anyone have any recent purchase experience that can share a recommendation?

Thanks!
Dave
