Katya informed me that they (Everlast) would be replacing my failed multipro 205 with a 2013 model unit. Because my faith in the mosfets has been shaken, at my request I also have the option to upgrade to the pu 205 for an additional cost of $400. If I choose the upgrade, after all is said and done I will have paid a couple hundred more than the original cost of a pu 205. Not a huge loss but is it worth it for the better unit?

The other option might be to regain faith in the mosfet model and accept the replacement, which i would use for tig/arc only and taking the $400 i would spend on the upgrade and instead using it to purchase a standalone plasma cuter like the pp 70s. Either way im sure my wife is going to kill me.

hmmmm what to do... any thoughts?
