I thought if I go through the reasons I chose the Sycrowave 250 you can see if any of my reasoning meets youre needs.
1) I dont do aluminum but want the capability.For what you spend,it seems kind of foolish to me not to go the cash for a fully capable machine.(since I got the welder I started doing aluminum and am glad I went the extra mile.)
2) From what Ive read the inverter machines only out perfom on AC and most of my work is DC.Portability is not an needed and supply power is not a problem for me.
3) The syncrowave is a time proven workhorse.
4) The 250 comes with a built in water cooler and though I never used an air cooled torch I understand they are large and awkward and do get hot with steady use.
5) Although I wanted the tig for light guage work I like haveing the power available.I am also useing the 250 to replace my antique Westinghouse AC stick welder.Again to get the watercooler built in I needed the 250 instead of the 180.
6) The 250 gives me the option of adding a pulser later on.Its a $170.00 add on witch I understand Is extreemly easy to install.
I think I got it all covered here and I hope this helps a little.I drove myself half nuts trying to decide and am very happy with my Syncrowave.The down side is I spent more than I wated to.My package,Tigrunner with 250 amp water cooled torch and an 80 cf argon cylinder was $3637.00.
