175 or 180?

I can't say anything about the Miller, the Lincoln makes for an OK tig but I'm very much less than impressed with it as a stick welder; to be frank, it blows big goats. I know another guy in my area who hates his squarewave as much as I hate mine but it seems there's people here who like them, perhaps the ideal would be if you could try both and see if you like one or both.

I had the choice, I bought the 180SD. Both machines are good transformer type TIG machines, but the 180SD is far superior as a stick machine because the pedal works in stick mode too. This makes stick welding with it a real delight, almost like one handed TIG.
