I just bought this machine, first TIG I'll ever try. Can't wait. Lincoln's $125 holiday rebate sealed the deal. I was looking at the Diversion 180, but even with the $700 rebate it was more expensive than the Lincoln. Plus it has hardwired leads, which didn't appeal to me.

From all I've read on this and another forum you'll be glad you bought the Lincoln, the Diversion isn't Miller's bright spot.
Hope you'll post back with a review after you've used it awhile.

I agree whole heartedly. We have both machines at school and the squarewave is hands down better. Better foot pedal, better torch, ability to stick weld, easily replaceable leads, pulse/balance/frequency settings, and better arc starts.
A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

I have and use the TIG Button (from 6061.com) pretty much exclusively now. Eliminates problems with out of position.

And I have since bought two myself. Nearly 100% converted.
