In terms of install, I would just recommend getting a pump with an air chamber. I find my pump with air chamber is better than many air compressors as I can remove the valve core and the rate of air flow is really high.
I found a fitting that screws onto my air compressor's blow gun that fits decently onto the presta valve (core removed). One quick shot, the tires popped into place, pull off the blow gun and cover the valve with my finger until the core is threaded back in.
You got a link to that fitting? I've seen some on Amazon but don't want to drop the coin unless they do what I need.
There's a brass connector for about a dollar that converts presta to schrader - my LBS has a big tin of them, but Amazon should have them without you dropping said coin. They allow me to use the husky air compressors.
I have one of those brass fittings, but with mine, it won't thread onto the valve stem itself, it will only thread onto the removeable portion of the valve, so I can't use it for quick filling.
In response to RAHrider, it's actually a shimano brake line compression fitting (the black bit with the nut flats on it that threads into the lever). It threads right into the generic blow gun I use on my compressor, and the open end fits over the valve stem (with valve removed) tightly enough to get the tire inflated in one quick move.
