Esab dta 200ac/dc or Fronius Transtig 2000?

[poor welder]

Hi, willing to buy my self a tig welder to learn a proper welding. I was using a stick welder before and using mig-thats is poor also like my welding.
Have 2 options that I can buy.

esab: http://m.finn.no/bap/forsale/ad.html?finnkode=81724791

Fronius: http://m.finn.no/bap/forsale/ad.html?finnkode=81379426&ref=conversation&fks=81379426

In my poor opinion Esab is water cooled and has more features and maybe newer model also? please help me

P.S. going to use TIG for my privat cars building custom oil pans,intercoolers, intakes, daily need to weld aluminium rims. so it`s really different things I`m going to weld- time to learn weld my self.
Thank`s
Donny

Left only Fronius Transtig 2000 it`s not water cooled, any ideas? Is it worth to buy welder like this? any one have experience with these?

unwatercooled torches are fine for the time being mate go for it then if need be get a water cooled torch at later date & either buy or make a cooler to run

I can't actually see anything on the Fronius to suggest it can weld AC. Looks like a DC only machine.

The Esab is a brilliant machine.Don`t know much about the Fronious. Don`t forget that the Esab is an old machine. I have worked on loads of them,the pcb`s are simple.If you were to ask me I would say Esab. Also if you have any problems,after years working on them,I can help you out

It is a DC only machine. It's the trans tig 2000 which is the DC brother of the one I used to have magicwave 2000 fuzzy.
