I have a Lincoln SP100, the forerunner to the current SP135 Plus.  It 
has continuously variable voltage and is configured for gas welding.  I 
note that it is now packaged with the gauge, etc.  About $600 and less 
from the local ABCO or www.powertoolstore.com (who includes free 
shipping on Lincolns.)  This (the SP100) has performed extremely well 
for my use.

At a welding class, I recently used the Millermatic 135.  Same price 
range and similar features to the Lincoln.  It made welding pretty easy, 
a nice smooth arc, easily adjustable.
