For the average person. This is MORE than enough. There would be no point in spending $$$$ where it's not needed.
Unless you weld for a living. Weld day in and day out. There's no point. The average person won't end up using all the AC features on something like a Dynasty.
Hell.. I DO weld day in and day out and I don't even use a fancy machine.

Well, I didn't really mean I need a "fancy" unit, top of the line. I simply meant that I don't want to get one that is very basic and relative to my skill at the moment, only to wish I had something better down the road. Keep in mind, I am no expert on the options/features between one TIG and another. I won't be welding for a living obviously, but I will be welding time-to-time for my job... then of course personal use. I would just want something that is going to properly do what I need it to do. What suggestions do you personally have? Probably nothing thicker than 1/8" aluminum. What features should I be concerned with? It does not need to be ultra portable. I would primarily use it for custom aluminum car audio amplifier racks and custom wall mounts for flat screen TV's etc. We happen to do a lot of commercial audio/video at restaurants etc. We do like 45 LCD screens in each of the Buffalo Wild Wings for example.
Thanks for your time,
