Default Smiley Tools Welder.............What Amperage/Model Do You Own??

I'm looking into picking up a Smiley Tools TIG/Plasma Machine next week. I'm wanting to know waht model you all have
I'm trying to decide if it's worth the few extra bucks to buy the 40 amp unit versus the 30 amp one? He doesn't have any auctions going for the 40 amps right now (sure I could just call and order one though) so I can't look over the specs. I see so many post from people using them, but none state what amp model they're using.
Also, how well does the Plasma Cutter work? I'm sure it's not cutting through much more then 3/8" steel but if it does that effectively, I can live with that.
I see he now has an AC/DC machine (can now do aluminum) for $800. I'd really like to have a plasma cutter but if the plasma cutter isn't all that great, I'd just go ahead and spring for the AC/DC machine now and try to get me a plama cutter later.
TIA

Hey Thanx for the reply.

I went ahead and ordered the AC/DC unit for $800. I'm going to buy a Plasma Cutterafter the first of the year.
