Mig welder suggestion

I bought a Hobart 210 last year from a guy on craigslist who buys welders from tractor supply that are missing parts. The Hobart shares Miller mig parts. He rounds up all the missing pieces and sells them. I love my welder. Hobart makes a good machine.

I went to the local welding supply yesterday to see if they had any good used ones (they didn't) and he told me the same thing, that Hobart is made by Miller. I asked him why the Miller's cost nearly double and he said the Hobarts are made with some lighter duty parts, but they are still an excellent welder and he wouldn't hesitate to buy one. Nice to find an honest salesman. Only problem is the Hobart 190 is $200 more than I have right now and that's the sale price so I'm still looking for a good used rig. Tnx for your input
