depends on how much welding you'll be doing...i'm assuming this is an aluminum welding set up, since you mentioned push/pull. if you weld a lot, sure it would be great. if you're a hobbyist, don't spend that kinda money unless you just gotta have a cool toy to play with. although, it would be pretty nice and convenient to punch in the thickness of material and/or the position of welding and have the settings adjust automatically. but then again, do I want to spend the extra $$$ in the name of convenience if don't weld that often?
