John, I just got the the Hobart 175. I did a lot of research and concluded it would handle everything I would ever need to do, although YMMV. Anything smaller probably would be pushing it. I just couldn't justify the extra $ for anything bigger. Also got it from Cyberweld, $811 for welder/cart/tank/auto helmet/wire/spare parts kit. I just need to get the bottle filled and wire in an outlet.
