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
