Cats,
You will not really see much of a difference when switching from .035 to .030 hard wire with the Millermatic 210. Going to a smaller diameter wire is usually done to help lower the amperage output delivered to the pieces of steel being welded. With the gauges of steel that you mentioned I would probably stay with the wire you are using.
The big difference also is in the cost of the wire. The .035 is usually cheaper.

Cats,
I have the MM210 and initially ran .035 in it and after awhile I switched back to .030. The .030 I run has a copper coating and makes an extremely smooth arc and I noticed significantly less spatter. I prefer .030 over the .035 especially on materials 1/4" or less. This is only my preference.---GrantComment
