R-Tech Vs Thermal arc

[Simon-]

R-Tech TIG Welder 240V AC/DC 200amp (€1402) Vs Thermal Arc Arcmaster 202 AC/DC Tig Welder.(€1490)

I'm thinking about taking up Tig, and would like to have a nice machine thats future proofed.Its Mainly to be used for light neat welding. (exhausts and cosmetics etc)
I'm currently looking at these two welders. Both have A/C. I know that the R-tech comes with a foot pedal! is the Thermal arc a higher quality / better machine?

I would just like other peoples opinions on these machines please.

Thank you!

i've had my r-tech ac/dc 200 for nearly 2 years,i'm pleased with mine for the price,
does everything i want but cant compare it to the thermal arc as i've never used one.

I've got the r tech 250 amp ac/dc tig and getting on really well with it, only been welding about a year but its done everything i've needed it to do, only other machine i've used is a parweld x220 or something like that, couldnt tell the difference really but like i said only been welding a year so still a beginner.
