The fact that you can add a spoolgun to the Lincoln 140C and 180C for < $200 makes it a no-brainer in my book. If I need portability, I bring a generator. Even the cheap ones supply 240V. That tilts the balance towards the 180.

I guess the current model would be the Lincoln Power MIG 140C. Local supplier has the Power MIG 180C for $125 more, it's the 208/230 version. Since I have 230 in my garage, I'm tempted by that. Thoughts? I read their comparison to Miller: http://content.lincolnelectric.com/pdfs/products/literature/e7242.pdf of course it's biased but I thought it was pretty convincing.
