Wow, them 250s must be a bear to move around.
I would slide it into the back of my truck, but after filling
that sucker, wouldn't it be heavy, no:eek:

No! No way, hey you pack iron all day! Use a hand cart to move the bottles around. Or spin them on there bottoms. Last spring I rented a 330 bottle of 90 / 10 to play with some spray transfer welding, it wasn't all that bad either.

I called my gas supply person and they want $190 for a "S"=172 cubic feet bottle.
It is a 5 year lease, plus 40 bucks for the gases.

There's no better choice than a 250 or a 330. Weld a while, and then you'll see why. Running to the welding supply store twice a day for gas is no fun...

Wait a minute, where do you work? It just hit me, I remember having to carry 250s of oxygen and the very large acetylene bottles up ladders when I worked.

My gas guy said $275 on a 5 year lease for a 250 tank=381 cubic feet of gas.
$100 for the gas.
I think I will stick with a 150.

I just thought that I would let every one know that
I went with a Everlast I-MIG 205.
I think I will grow into it, as opposed to grow out of it.
Thank you every one for your opinions and advice.
Mark at Everlast, I am looking forward to working with you on this purchase.
