I'm buying one or the other, and can't decide. I looked at (and tried) both at Sun & Fun and bought the Lincoln square wave 175. Hard to put a finger on it, but I just liked it better. Jerry Schnider [jerskip@earthlink.net] was trying out the Lincoln inverter while I was there. The Lincoln has an automatic balance feature. I'm not quite sure what it does, but it seems to work well. :) One thing I found out later is that the 175 is great for thin plate, but it's barely enough power to weld 1/4 al plate. Also, one word of warning - don't make you're welding table while crouching down in shorts like I did. I took a week for the "sunburn" to peel :( Regards, John Slade
