    Which welder would you suggest, Holbart or Miller?

    When I got my Hobart 140 when I unpacked it there was a miller gun in it. so the welder says hobart and the gun has miller on the side, I would do the Hobart 230 over the 211. now if you kick in the Miller 252 well that's a whole another story.
