Definitely. You'll need consumables eventually, and having them on hand beats a $1 part holding up your welding. The Miller consumables kits come in a nice storage box and are a great value. I have two for my most used wire size, and one for each of the others. I'd recommend the cover--keeps general garage/shop schmoo out of and off of the machine, and has a pocket to hold the leads.
Cyberweld says that Miller is going to have a price increase on their machines on 4/1. I'm not quite ready ($) to pull the trigger on one yet. Anybody know what the magnitude of their increases usually is? They don't run a sale right before an increase by any chance, do they?
Just hopin,
I've also been considering picking up a 211, but lately I've been thinking I should get the 215. My brother told me a few days ago that his local dealer said to expect a 4-5% price increase 4/1.
