Clarke Pro90 / 100E hybrid

[Nomad]

Hi,
As a total newby, I bought a new Clarke Pro90 a couple of years ago following advice on here, and it's done everything I wanted ( mainly light car bodywork, bits & pieces on motorcycle frames, some bits around the house)
It only gets used for small jobs, so is still like new.

Have just been give a well used & abused Clarke 100E Mk2 that has had a hard life in a car repair workshop and is not worth repairing ( needs new torch and all cables, wirefeed looks suspect, the case is a mess, etc)
Not mine, but internals look the same as

Is it worth swapping the guts (and front panel as it has an extra switch) out of the 100e into the Pro90 as a free upgrade?
The spec on the Pro90 says range is 24-90amp, on the 100e it's 30-100amp.

One of the attractions when I got the Pro90 was that it will go down to 25 amp, but I don't think I've ever needed it that low.
Is there an easy way to keep the 25amp from the '90 if I upgrade the internals from the '100 just in case?


Advice please - worth doing or a waste of time?

If you don't intend using it i'm after buying a spare liner clamp device for my 100e.Not much of an expert on welders but it's the bit that holds the end of the liner in place just after the rollers.On mine it's a metal tube with tangs that grip the liner with two nuts holding it in place.Been after one for ages.The part's not available new.
