I'm buying either a Millermatic 180 or a Lincoln Power MIG 180 by the end of week. I've done all the comparisons on the sites, talked to whoever I could find to talk to and I guess I'm leaning toward the Miller. They both seem so close. Should I just buy whichever one is cheaper, decide which color I like or what?
The Lincoln has 5 Position voltage and the Miller is infinite but from what I can tell from my research most fine tuning is done with the wire feed anyway. And the Lincoln comes with a few more tips, wire, etc.
The only thing I can conclude is that the Lincoln seems a little more "industrial" in old world build quality, etc. and the Millermatic maybe works a "little" better in real-world functioning/actual use?
Any opinions appreciated. BTY - the best price I've seemed to find (Northern California) is at the local Airgas.
