I'm considering buying a MIG welder, maybe 6 - 8 months down the road to complement my PPro 256. I really like what I see in the PowerMTS units, and I'd love to have a small, light weight unit that can serve as as back up to my 256 for DC TIG/Stick. The PowerMTS seems to fit the bill quite nicely.

While I think I would mostly use this for light duty GMAW in my garage shop, I'd love to be able to take it out for small jobs using flux core on 120v. Maybe that's a pipe dream, but I've been seriously looking at the cheap Lincoln MIGs at the hardware store. However, I just don't see the value in those units compared to the PowerMTS. Just curious if maybe I overlooked a dual voltage option on the product page, or possibly one of the Everlast guys might know about something on the product road map. Or, maybe FCAW is just so bad that, I should stay with stick welding .

Thanks
Mike
