Is there a huge difference between these wire feeders to use and in the actual results ? Seems the 54 series is still pretty favored over here in New Zealand , just after an opinion from anyone who's used both ... Worth the extra money ?

Unfortunately there's no magic unicorn in the 74 feeder. I have a 74dx and it has some bells and whistles but all in all Cruizer is right. A feeder is a feeder is a feeder. It feeds wire. Nothing more. If a 54 delivers wire correctly its going to do the same job as a 74 that delivers wire correctly.Dynasty 400 wireless

AFAIK, the only one to stay away from is the 75 feeders. The company that made the feeder drive assy is no longer in business and there are no parts available!Glen
