Hey lads.. I know you are all tired of hearing the same question over and over.. I have done a topic search but I still am a tad unsure.. Short story is that I'm building a new workshop away form my old one at my parents and while I was there I always had the use of my father's mig plant which we've had 15yrs.. (INE sk245 with tk2 separate wire feed) With the move I now need to buy my own plant.. After visiting a few shops I've a few options
Another INE. But this time a 300 amp version

As you can see I've a good choice of machines but am really unsure about making the choice.. Only criteria I have are I want a 300amp approx plant with separate wire feed and a relatively good duty cycle as with the father's welder I'm finding I'm running it at it's max a tad too regular and the thermal cut out kicks in. Of all the choices above only one is inverter and I'm unsure about stepping away from the transformer option but as with all your excellent welcome last week I'd love if you lads could offer your opinions and experience
