If I am remembering your description of the 211 arc characteristics, it performs similar to the MM 180. On the 180 once you go over about 150 amps, the arc starts becoming harsh, and it becomes difficult to keep the spatter level down.
For thin ga sheet, the MM 180 couldn't come close to competing with a Lincoln Power MIG 180C. The 180C has an excellent low end for thin ga sheet. If your looking for a thin ga sheet metal unit, the Power MIG 180C is definitely a unit to consider.
