I'm having a toss up between the 185 and the 200, yes I know, they have been threads about this, i read them .
my toss up is, i'll be new to welding. my budget allows me to get a dual voltage 185 which is very convenient. I can sacrifice and get the 200DX by sacrificing the dual voltage feature and just get the 240v model. I'm probably never go over 1/4" since my goal is just auto fabrication, stainless and aluminum piping etc.
The 200DX has the pulse feature, which I don't know if i'll use or have to.
So to those who had this toss up, which would you choose. I guess this comes down to convenience of dual voltage vs Pulse feature that i may not use.
is there anything the 185 is possibly better at welding wise. I'll also have to get a pedal for the 185, so that more $$
