Anyone have expirience with the northern industrial mig/stick200?

i want to get a new mig welder i was looking at the lincoln 180hd and i came across the northern mig stick i can get them for the same price pretty much. i know the lincoln is good but i noticed that the northern has a betther duty cycle and being able to stick weld is a plus... i have the 230v chicago mig now and im tired of it and i dont want to go from one piece of crap to another more exspensive piece of crap... anyone have expirence with either machines youd like to share? also could the northern be converted to tig?heres links to bothhttp://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200395739_200395739http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200405531_200405531?cm_sp=RVC-_-Footer-_-Productsthanks guys<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
