hello after alott of thought for the last 2 weeks I have decided to become a part of the everlast famley I was going to buy the diversion 180 from miller it sure lacks a ton o stuff for the money. my only concern is I live and Canada and I just hope that if I need service on the unit that everlast will have my back I don't mind paying shipping I just need to know that they can fix it for me. I'm buying the welder because I want to make more money in my life. I want to get a welding job and the only way to be a good good welder is to buy one and practice everyday I was thinking of buying the 250ex but now I see a new ext coming soon should I Waite and get the ext or should I just get the ex because it's a more proven machine. what ever unit I buy YouTube viewers will see unboxing and howto setup and much more. also to be honest one thing I did not care much for was the clear hoses that hook up to the unit I would replace mine with black hoses but other then that I'm sold on the machine I still need to save a few more weeks but I'll buy everlast and I want a cooler too. so question is 250ex or ext thanks Jason
