These two units are difficult to understand what exactly the differences are.

AFAICT, the main differences are:

Control circuit runs at 70v vs 80v for 201 vs 200T.

Cellulose rod appears to work better on the 200T, per reviews. Not a lot of reviews and the 201 says it will handle 6011, one of the online reviews I saw for the 201 specific said it's not one of it's strong points (chucke2009). This is probably the biggest difference for me in regard to both welders.

201 will only go down to 5 amps, where the 200T will go down to 3 amps. I don't think this will be an issue, but a difference.

201 doesn't come with a pedal, and the 200T does. On the surface this would appear to be the cost difference in the machines, but I would plan on replacing the pedal anyway, so not sure that is really an advantage or not.

Price difference of about $100 between both welders at the current sale prices.

200T has memory settings to hold 8 or 9 configurations...no big deal there. I just want something simple to use and when I was watching online it seemed to me that the 200T is slightly more complicated to configure as there is a bit more, much of which I probably don't need.

I decided on the 201, although I did plan to use cellulose, I can still weld 7018 just fine and if I need to use only 7018 I can do that.

For me I kind of like having the potentiometers, as a quick glance will tell you what the system is set to...maybe that is so of the 200T, but some of the menus seem hidden.

Everlast must have had a target audience for each of the systems, since the 200T was introduced before the 201.

I was hoping Mark might be able to layout why Everlast added the changes they did and/or who the target audience is for each of these units. Not sure if that will help me understand them better, and am planning to keep the 201.

Cheers,
