On the topic of gas vs diesel welder.

2 years ago I bought a Miller Trailblazer gas version.  Same reasons 
outlined in this thread, I could buy 2 of these for the price of 1 
diesel unit.  Maybe 3 or 4 of them if I considered the Lincoln SA 
series.  I needed 110 and 220 volt power plus the welder on a specific 
job.  Being retired and blacksmithing is a hobby turning business, I 
don't usually buy equipment until I need it - and I don't rent unless it 
is completely impractical for me to buy (last week I rented a SkyTrack 
for1 hour to hang some railings on the front of a home).  It is a good 
little welder, and I still have less than 100 hours on it.  But where I 
have used it on site, the clients appreciate that I have good, reliable 
equipment and aren't always wiring into their panels for power, etc. 
etc. etc.
