These are going for 440 ish shipped on ebay. Almost ready to pull the trigger on the purchase.

Can you more experienced folks let me know what they think about this welder? Anyone used it? Can I get something comperable/better for the cheaper/or around the same price(dont want spend more than 450)?

Nice welder, I've used one.

The only thing I really like more about the Miller 135 is the infinately variable voltage, only problem is I'll cost you another 100-200 bucks.

I'm pretty sure I will get a Henrob gas unit here soon as I know about 4 people with Migs I can use anytime.
