Very true on the running out of gas. That won't be a problem when working on my Chevelle as my dad has 4 large tanks full sitting in his shop. I'm not even bringing my own tank when I go out there! Not to mention flux-core wire is $$$. Way more money than solid core + gas.

wow that was a big difference. i believe i would just use the gas then. i never had to buy it, school paid for it so it didnt matter to me.

Sorry to resurrect this one but I'm looking at two Lincoln's. The 3200hd and the 140hd.
The only differences if can find are:
3200hd can only run .035" flux cored wire while the 140 can run both .030" and .035" flux cored.
3200hd output ranges 25-135 amp, 140hd 30-140 amp.
140 has .5 volt higher volt output=19.5 vs 19 for the 3200hd
The 140 is almost $50.00 more. Is it worth it?

RE: Help me choose a welder!
I was leaning that way because of the options but does that 5 thousandths make that much of a difference.
