I definitely agree with you there- just when things go a little too hot or cold, I've found it nice to have the slightly finer adjustability. Makes my E36 M3ty welds a little better.
ok soooo i went to look at some MIGs. And now my budget swelled again. But i am looking at mainly two machines.
Lincoln POWER MIG 140C
or
Lincoln SP 125.
Leaning towards the POWER MIG 140C.
Any opinions?
I have the 140c now and it's good. Check the drive mechanism of the 125- you may find that it's plastic. Not sure whether that matters, but the 140 is metal.

You can't go wrong with a power mig. My Power MIG 180 does everything I want, and the fact that it is the POWER not the "Pro" means that it has the good metal feed mechanism.
i just spent the last 15 minutes trying to find a MIG for sale, but couldn't even find a 15 or 21, much less a 25. IN THE WHOLE INTERNET!

There's a 21 for sale in Oklahoma (for $49K)
and a 17 for sale in Virginia.
(They're asking $75K)
