Needless to say my build title "Budget" has morphed into
Know the budget feeling, I am double mine not to mention putting in a lot of money on tools/equipment.

Ton's of guys on this forum use the Hobart 140 and are very happy with it. I looked at the Miller 211 but just could not justify spending the extra money for the 110/220 option. I ended up between the 140 and 211. I went with the Lincoln 180. I am very happy with it. The 140 is a good option as well. There are usually some good deals on it. Just checked where I got my welder, weldingmart.com, and they have a reconditioned Lincoln 140 for $449. Good luck on the hunt!
