Anyone have experience with an Iwata Silver Jet?

I'm looking into getting the Iwata "Silver Jet" compressor. Is this a good compressor to run with my new Iwata Eclipse? If not then let me know of a better choice! Thanks

Also how is it noise-wise? I don't want some screaming compressor that hurts my ears.

The ones we used at the Ihobby show were very nice. Pricey, but nice and quiet and consistent. We used them for 8 hours each day.

And you're sure this was the silver jet? It looks like this

Yeah, we had a couple of those, they worked great.

We had a couple big compressors, too, and the other Iwata compressor.

You don't really need anything this fancy, but it's small and quiet. If you're in an apartment or similar situation it's a good choice.

so hardly any pulsing?

Not that I noticed. Get a fairly long braided hose and that will help, too.

It comes with a long coiled cose

It says it has a PSI range of 10-18. Is that enough?

Yeah, you don't really need to go higher than that. 10-18 is your airbrushing range.
