New TIG welder thoughts, What do you suggest? Options

[obscurity]

I would like to buy a TIG welder and give it a try. What do you suggest I look at? I need it to be 110V capable as my garage has no 220V. I plan to weld mostly sheet metal and have a MIG if I need to go much thicker. It does not have to do aluminum but it wouldn't hurt. What have I been looking at?

Eastwood TIG200
Primeweld TIG225x - Leaning toward this one
Vulcan Protig205

I know there are those who will say that I should buy a $3500 Miller but that is not realistically in he cards for me as I am by no means a professional nor will I ever be. I just like learning new things and developing new skills. This will be a weekend warrior machine and not for everyday use. As you can see from the list above I have been looking in the $800-1,200 range. Most of these machines have a pedal, pulse and are AC/DC.

Anyone have any of these or should I be looking elsewhere?

Oh geez well your gonna get the 20 plus year college welding instructor response from me.. I have used state of the art welding equipment my whole professional career. I have tried all of the name brand stuff and have an opinion of each. I have trained 1000s of professional welders. That all said please know that TIG welding is hands down the hardest skill set to master. Though you mention that is not your goal so that is out of the way. I have no particular experience with the import welders from Asia but have heard the Eastwood to at least have a good warranty. I have also heard about the I believe it's called the atp or htp on Amazon. They are semi reliable.

My only Real advice is don't expect much from longevity but if I am wrong you got one up on me and 2nd realize there is a reason good TIG welders make 45 plus an hour for their skill sets. The thinner the material the harder to weld.. you will be able to TIG weld it just takes time and lots and lots of patience.
