Honestly the difference between a 2-stage and single-stage air dryer on a truck after 6 months is night and day

Depends on the climate and how often you're actually using the dryer. Most guys I know get by fine with single-stage for local runs.

Two-stage is worth it in my book, even for local runs. I live in a humid area and single-stage just can't handle the moisture when I've got a full basket of wet clothes. It takes twice as long to dry anything and they come out feeling stiff. Plus the extra lint buildup is annoying to deal with. A buddy of mine has one and he's always complaining about the same issues. For the price difference, two-stage gives you way better performance and less headache.
