Another couple of thoughts:
If you allow high pressure air into a cylinder that hasn't quite gone past TDC it will spin backwards (for air driven start after stop).
Although the air store may start out at 450 psi (or whatever), the pressure will drop as air is removed from the store i.e. you have to work using pressure somewhat lower than the peak storage pressure. It also means that you cannot extract all the energy from the stored air because you have to set a minimum, working, pressure.
