I've seen that one but have not had a chance to weld with it and it has crossed my mind as well. For me, I've done alot of thinking and when I look and see the ac output, enough to run a grinder or something like that I've determined that for me that's not enough in what I do. If all ya run is a grinder these machines sound great. I run mig machines, hopefully a dynasty one day, all sorts of power tools so for my application I've finally determined these low wattage welders are not for me.(there goes my 51' short hood) I too was caught by the price of the Big Red and thought hmm?? But again, it came down to ac output for me.
