Always overbuy tools...
If one is just right, buy the next bigger one... Tools evolve and air demands change... As the compressor wears, it wont run quite as fast and the pistons will leak a bit more as cylinders widen out with time... I know that's easy to say, but it's true, with both the compressor and with the tools.
I've seen a 3/4 inch impact put out right at 1000 ft/lbs, and a 1 inch impact couldn't break the same nuts the next day... Tools wear and use more air over time... They will often still do the same job it just takes more air to do so...
