MIG Weld Wire for Sheet Metal Repairs

Ok, I need opinions from the experienced among you, NOT just a knee jerk reaction:



Yeah, so it's Harbor Freight - no one panic, remain calm!

I'd never seen .023 wire there before yesteday. I don't know if it's new or I just missed it before. Cheap enough at $6.99 a roll, but then I wondered if it is fine to use? Will it make the work harder (in some way?) for someone who is already an inexperienced welder?

I'll be welding with a Hobart Handler 140 and before anyone makes the inevitable recommendation - no, I'm NOT upgrading to a 220v machine any time soon. I'd love to, but its just not necessary for what I'm doing. Thanks for any advice.
