I don't have a multi process but I believe most don't have high frequency start. For me personally that is a deal breaker.

You can weld aluminum with DC and helium but it doesn't come out as pretty and the cost for helium makes it not worthwhile for most of the stuff we are doing.

I bought the AHP Alphatig. Had a bit of a hiccup at first (bad torch) but ultimately replaced it with a CK9 and have been happy as a clam since. I tig my body panels (and pretty much everything I weld in my garage).

Here is my bedside I shortened:
