Brent,
is correct
in the shop 2G
in the field 3G, 4G, or pipe 6G
be able to weld
and know what makes $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
always do what is fast and easy
then you make more $$$$$$$$$$$$$
much as use GMAW in the shop all you can
makes $$$$$$$$$$$$
much as use FCAW in the field makes $$$$$$$$$$$$$
we do things to make $$$$$$$$$$$$$
this is our job, not a hobby
all just IMHO
sincerely,
Kent
