i can understand your point Trendz, but look at the argument on what a pro would have in their shop. they will likely have better equipment that costs waaaay more than the DIY'er will justify spending in most cases. i started with a stick, graduated to a crappy 110v wirefeed, sold it and got a better 110v wirefeed, and now i have a really good machine that'll do all. i did keep my lincoln 140 for work outside my shop. i can load up my genset and weld anywhere.....that i like about my lincoln that i can't do with my big miller. the lincoln 110v 140 amp is limited but it will do the job "in most cases".
