ok, I have to do some light welding soon... I hope to not need it much, but want it to be "good enough" to do the job...

harbor freight has one for around 150, 85 amp MIG welder... runs on 110... good enough? I don't want to spend much money... not over $200 anyway...

they also have a 80 amp for $120...

recommendations?
