hey guys im on the fence, im about to buy a tig welder and im torn between the lincoln precision tig 225, or the miller syncrowave 200. Im a lincoln guy at heart but ive been hearing good things about this miller. The lincoln has 30 more amps but 5% less duty cycle.. anybody have any experience with either welder? thanks!

Can't go wrong with either. I have used Millers for a long time, but Lincolns lay it down nicely as well. Get a squirrel cage fan equipped cooler, they are much quieter than the cheaper 4 blade fan models.

yea ive heard that alot, the lincoln i can basically get for 200 cheaper because they are throwing in the cart and a cover whereas the miller they will throw in the cart for 200 more.. and a 250lb welder should have wheels haha but 200$ in the scheme of things isnt that bad

You will be happy with either IMO.
I use a Miller mig welder at work and I love that thing.
