Default Using compressed nitrogen to spray powder

I was just reading some threads about getting dry air and someone mentioned using compressed nitrogen to get dry air. This sounds like a good idea do you guys think it would work?

I see no reason to do this. Moisture filter... problem solved.

Why over complicate things?

Here's the pro's and con's that i can think of:

Pro:
Dry air

Con:
Have to refill, which costs $, time and effort.
Can run out of air while working on a project. (if that happens on the weekend and you need to get a refill but places are closed )
Heavy bottle? (or small and therefor small capacity)
The gas is explosive! (lol just kidding )
