miller spool guns for doing aluminum

["Vincent Marshall" <vlm@te-motorworks.com>]

List,

I'm thinking about purchasing a spool gun for my Millermatic 251 MIG
welder.  The intended purpose is the once per month or so I have to weld
1/8" plus thick aluminum, and is in the interest of making it go faster
than TIG welding it as I do now.  I'm thinking specifically about the
Miller 3035 spool gun.  It looks like the bottom of the line, but suitable
for non production use.

Experience?  Opinions?

Thanks,
-Vin
