I have a 130amp unit and wouldn't want anything less. Like you I didn't
think I'd need a lot of power for what I had in mind, then, but after you
use it a while you seem to come up with things that can be repaired etc with
welding. I must assume you also have fully variable wire speed control.
Also the connections for gas. Buy the best you can afford. Mine is so
heavy I made a rolling base for it.
