Looks to me like essentially the same machine. Miller calls it Auto-Set, Hobart calls it EZ-Mode. Same thing. I'd take whichever one has the best price.

Go with the Hobart. Cheaper price for the same machine. Miller produces Hobart and is generally the model year behind the current Miller product
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 ended up buying a Hobart "auto Arc" 130 at farm and fleet for 269 new in the box.. couldnt pass up the price.. way better welder then what i had for wire feed.. not as powerful as anything else i got haha but for what i do with wire feed its perfect.
