Suggestions on an impact wrench

So, I've started work on my 2004 Civic I picked up about a month ago. So far I've run into two bolts I can't get out with my current cheapo harbor freight electric impact wrench (which actually works pretty well normally). So, I'm looking for something with a bit more torque. I don't use it a TON, so I'd like to keep the cost down. But, it needs to have the power to take big bolts out like crankshaft bolts, subframe bolts, etc.

I did some quick searching this morning on amazon and I found one that seems like it has a good amount more torque than my electric, and the price is still quite reasonable. I'm looking at the Ingersol Rand 231C.

I don't care weather its electric or pneumatic. At this point I'm more likely to go with whatever is more economical. I don't use it that much and I do take care of my stuff.
