Am I better of to go with the 1250 and use the smaller 40 and 60 amp consumables? However, I noticed you said the consumables last longer on the 45 machine. So that sounds good. But, you said in an earlier post "the 1250 blows the doors off of the 45 and 1000, but it's a bit pricier". I don't mind spending the extra money now, if it will keep me from spending it later. I just want to get the best machine I can get for around that $3500 range.
Thanks again, And I apolagize for all the newbie questions.
