Default Hobart Handler 140, or Lincoln WP 135?

as the title says, anyone have any advice on which is better? I can get them for almost (+- $15 bucks) the same cost, so Im not really sure which one to get.

Now, before anyone says "get a 220V" I DONT WANT A 220V! I want something I can use NOW, and I want something that will last... When I get a grage, I'll get 220V installed and get a 220V for the garage, but until then, its either the hobart, or the Lincoln..... Anyone have any thoughts?

I have a little lincoln 100 hat I bought years ago, I have probably ran 50 of the small reels of wire through it and it has never given me any problem.

well my dad bought a hobart and it has a Miller gun and wire feed that came with it. I think that its the 140 also. Its a very nice welder. I have welded with lincolns in school for 6 months and they are good also. The hobarts look nicer. I think thats about the only difference. Get what you like.

IVe never used a hobart, but Ive used 6-8 different lincoln models, and all of them have been fantastic. I also like the fact that the lincoln has infinate voltage adjustment, as opposed to the hobart's 1,2,3,4 settings.

the hobarts also adjust wire speed/amperage on 2 seperate dials. if you up wire you up amps, you can't do one or the other like my HF does, which i rather like it for.
