CARBON!!
So I am looking at buying a wire feed welder, since having moved away from the family shop I no longer have access to all the nice tools my dad has. I have never really done any real welding, but would like to be able to practice up to do some basic body work on future restoration projects. From what I have seen the wire feed is the way to go. My question is which of these two look better:

or

http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200403263_200403263

The first one has what looks like adjustable amperage output, is this something worth the extra price?

Also does anyone have any experience with these store brand units, the have Hobarts there as well, but they are quite a bit more expensive.
