The fast wirefeed speed is an advantage when welding thicker materials. It allows a higher deposition rate. This is especially handy when you only have .023 wire available and need to lay down a lot of wire. Obviously if you went to a thicker wire you would not need quite so fast of speed. You got to admit it does make for versatilty.
Did not mention this model has infinite control for voltage and wirefeed. This is kinda bad for a beginner cause it gives you too many damned choices to get it "dialed in". Once you get a little bit of experiance though it really helps when going to thinner materials.
