You know you can buy a Miller Spectrunm 125c for about the same money as that Chicago unit. How easy are the consumables to obtain for either of the above units?
I own the 125, and love it, and I just purchased a new Spectrum 375 x-treme with case, and really love the dual power input option. Having the flexability to use either 115- 230vac without having to tear the machine open to re-link, or set jumpers, is a real plus. Millers are kinda spendy, but will last a long time, and replacement parts, and service can be found everywhere.

those united units are on ebay all the time, and do not have a very good track record. most of the feedback from buyers is that they are junk.
