Brad, when I decided to buy a MIG, after looking at JCW, Costco, etc.,
the choice I made was based on serviceability, and re-sale value. I
chose Lincoln and paid more. When it comes to getting it fixed, I have
many local suppliers to choose from. If I decide to sell it, everyone
knows the brand name and will pay a little more to buy the quality.
I ended up paying much more than the JCW rig but that is a Canadian
thing. One thing for sure, MIG welding is great on body work.
