[TheForge] Which is the better Mig. Miller or Hobart. Does Tig beat em all?

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

Help!  I am looking at the Miller 175 and the Hobart 175, which is the better 
machine?
Do I need to look at a larger machine? I have A/C and D/C Stick welders as 
well as a good Oxy/ Acy set up.  Yes, I could forge weld almost everything, but 
I am still not a great forge welder (despite practicing).
 Would I be better off just looking at going to a Tig system?
I mainly work in various steels, although I do use some aluminum, rarely 
copper or brass. The use would be my small (but growing) blacksmithing shop. Small 
repairs, and light production.
Any and all opinions accepted. Thanks in advance.
Time enough for sleep in the grave.
Tod Estes.
