CJ737,
No worries. I didn't mean to sound like I had my panties in a twist.
If I didn't want to hear honest and objective opinions, I shouldn't have asked.

Yeah, welding equipment goes for ridiculous prices around here. I was going down this same path and decided that I wanted a warranty for anything inverter based. They seem to fail in a very costly fashion.
Another option that may work for you is to rent it if you just need one for the occasional job. We have at least one good rental place in town and may do that one of these weeks just to see what it is all about. Until then, I have a pre-heat oven, torch, etc. and a gas mixer to bring in some metered helium.

Thanks for the input MFleet and Poland308. I decided to take a deep breath, cool my jets, and let this one pass.
I think the realistic plan is to wait and buy either a Miller 210DX or 280DX OR an Everlast 255EXT and plan on grabbing some helium when/if I need a little more juice. I think I know the arguments in favor of the blue over the green (support) and vice versa (cost). We'll just have to wait and see.
thanks

Sounds like your on the right track, Iv'e had a Dynasty 300 DX for years, and its a great machine, my brother just picked up a Dynasty 210DX tig runner and I was very impressed with it's ability to get right into 1/4" aluminum and also it's low end was very smooth.. Awesome machine..

With Miller's rebate on the 210DX plus Cyberweld tossing in a Speedglas 9100XXi it's enough to drive me crazy (or divorced )
