Buy a standard model if that thing is more money.
It's pretty gaudy looking and the public thinks so too.
I did hear the proceeds from those go to his kids fondation,
that would be the only reason to buy one. Other then they
are a pretty decent machine. I prefer the tapped 250 plus model
that they no longer make. It's a standard 250 with all the nagging
standard problems fixed, in a 260 type case.
The 260 reminds me quite a bit like a Lincoln powermig 255
in the type of arc. Not a bad thing either.
