either or honestly. its like asking if you should buy a chevy 1500 or a ford f150. its all about preference. ppl will have good and bad opinions about both.

both are quality pieces though, its not like you are getting a walmart wleder or anything.

get one that is 130 amps with 30% d/c and you should be good and with a 30% d/c you can weld 3 mins straight out of every 10 mins i think or something close to that
