Yeah I like the first cage as well, pretty sexy. Yeah sticks only have 30% deposition, whereas MIGs have around 60%. that 70% creates slag and stuff to put dots all around your welds, not to mention the sloppiness of the weld itself, unless your a pro (not Pro).
Fishy, can you use a TIG? Might just rent one of those and make the welds perfect if you can.

A while back I was building an office building and the guy installing the structural steel was sticking some stuff and it looked like it was TIG'd. I was blown away. To say the guy was talented didn't even cover it.
