CO2 regulator source

I'm looking for a regulator for my CO2 tank, it looks like there are a few options. I'm using a 10lb tank I have left over from my kegerator setup, I've figured out the regulator I have now is a low pressure one, it only flows at 60psi.

The Powertank ones look nice, but at $240 seems more than I need. I couldn't care less if it takes another minute per tire to air up if it will save me $200.

This one from The Source looks like it will do it's job, but I've gotten used to having gauges on tanks from work, even though they aren't that accurate with compressed liquids. I don't really need an adjustable one though, the only thing I will be using it for is to air up tires.

I found this one at a kegerator website, but I have concerns how long it will last. Looks too cheap.

Any suggestions? What are people here using?

The one from the Source should be just fine for what we do.

Yep, I have the Powertank one and the gauges look cool, but that's the extend of their usefulness. The one from The Source would have been just fine.

I have the one from the Source as well, running fine for the past 3-4 years. It freezes over and slows down considerably after filling 2-3 tires, but takes about 5 minutes to defrost.
