New here, been lurking for awhile.
Just hooked up a brand new HH187 tonight w/.030 solid and 75/25. Moved up from my 125ez that I got a couple years ago (I'll never get rid of that one, too convenient) and an old beat up linkn SP170T (has a problem feeding, probably needs a new liner). Ran a few quick beads and all I can say is OH MY!!!!! this thing is definately wow, the arc is very smooth and consistent compared to the old linkn, Waaaaaay different. Was thinking that I might have a little remorse for not getting the HH210 (I needed it this weekend for a project I am in the middle of and could not find a 210 on the shelf anywhere). I saved some money and I think the 187 will work very well for me.
I was offered a MM180 w/autoset (not sure I need or would like) from my LWS at about the same price as the HH210 and figured that for several hundred less the 187 was the way to go.
Read lots of good stuff on here, thanks for all the good posts. I am sure I will have some q's as I move ahead with this machine.
