Personal choice here is Miller all the way.  I have owned Millers (TIG,
Stick, Wirefeed and portables) and I have never had trouble getting them
serviced on the few times I can recall trouble.

Marc,
I got the Lincoln version for about $500 about three years ago. I like it
just fine. Igot it specifically because it was 110 and transportable to other
locations. I only wish that it would take .035 wire, so the fill rate would
be greater. They also have a 20 amp option for it to get a little greater
heat. I've noticed that they have a cheaper version now that has 4 heat
settings, I don't know about that set-up, for most stuff, you'll have it
cranked up pretty high.

Good Luck

Kenny Valdejo
