I have a Lincoln SP175 Plus. If I were doing it again, I'd lean toward
the Miller 212 or the Lincoln 215 styles. They're significantly more
money (not quite double the cost I think), but they've got more power &
more duty cycle while they do it, plus tend to be compatible with all the
"real" optional stuff. For instance, I can't buy a spool gun for my
SP175.
I ended up buying mine as a floor model, but www.weldingmart.com seems to
have pretty good prices from what I've seen. I've bought consumables from
them and always been happy.
