Thanks for the replies guys. I have done some research here (you DON'T want to get the welder boys riled up on whats better type subjects) and many other places. I was pretty much set on getting a Millermatic 180. Its got variable heat taps amongst other things. It might be overkill for some bike related stuff, but I need the smaller settings to stitch weld my old Z car that has metal made from scrap tuna cans and Shlitz beer cans.
I was planning on getting it with my IRS refund. Best price I have found is $800 shipped.
Does the HF deal come with any gas valve?
Can you run .023 wire?
I have read that the auto darkening helmet from HF is pretty good.Any comments?
Where do you get a 20% coupon? I get HF fliers in the mail and online and have not found one yet.
Will the Miller welder make welding easier for a bad/novice welder?
Is the Miller worth $600 more than the HF?

Here is the Miller unit:
