Jim why not look at multi-process machines? I just love my Invertec V350-Pro with SG spool gun, and LF-72 wire feeder.

I will have to take a look at that.
I've slowly been doing some reading up on this trying to figure out what would be the best way to go for what I want to do. I would like to (potentially) be able to weld aluminum - also have the capability to do production work on heavy gauge steel.
From some of what I have been reading today - I'm now thinking that I might be better off in the end spending a little more money and getting into something like a Miller 350P - which will do the spray arc welding. From what I've been reading that feature will let me make really nice welds easier on steel and also works much better on aluminum (with the right spool gun)

The price is really up there - but I have seen a few barely used ones for sale for pretty good prices.
My problem is usually time - and a machine that will "make it easy" for me - even if it costs more - is worth the extra expense. If I can pull it out of the box and make nice welds - it just made it worth the money.
