I agree totally. The other thing is that Miller or Lincoln is going to support
these
units with replacement parts for a long time. You can still get parts for Miller
that is 30 years old. These units will accept the Tweeko gun, which is is the 
top
of the
Top of the line setup.

I disagree. I have both Mig and Tig setups. Both are Miller welders. If I was
going to pick just one it definatly would the Mig setup. It very easy to use 
with
little or
no training and its much faster. You can mig weld in places that you can't begin
to tig because of the foot control.

For the average guy, The Mig is the hot setup!!!!!!!  Buy the Miller or the
Lincoln
and only cry once.
