What motor should I purchase?

[Nat Lynn]

Hi everyone,

Hopefully some of you can help me. I am searching for a 5hp Baldor Single Phase to put on a compressor and I have stumbled upon these two: https://www.mrosupply.com/product/25387-Baldor_Electric_Motors-Motors_AC_Motors_Single_Phase_Motors and https://www.mrosupply.com/product/24875-Baldor_Electric_Motors-Motors_AC_Motors_Single_Phase_Motors

Is there anyone who knows which is the best option, cause the price difference is obvious (the first one, Baldor L1430T costs $461 and the other one, Baldor L1430TM is $608). Somebody recommended this site to me https://www.mrosupply.com/index / for the good prices but if you know a better one please tell me.

Do you think there is a cheaper brand that shows the same performance?

Thanks
