Re: mig help

the difference between the two is that the first one is an "Auto set". this means that you do not have to keep as steady and is better for the novice. It will do slight adjustments to your voltage and wire feed settings. with some practice this is not a real tough thing to manage. I am on the side of money and say you can find one somewhere else for a little over half the price (i did). I myself at this point am only using flux core wire that needs no gas. gas is no help outside in a slight breeze. my welds aren't as pretty as with gas, but are effective. you can buy a lot of accessories with the four hundred you'll save. I bought my first one used, bought my supporting equipment a little here-a little there. saved up and sold the old one and bought a new one; I am still money ahead. just some food for thought; good luck and remember whatever works for you is the right choice.
