For me, it is a Miller or nothing. Lincolns, I may buy and sell (not

I just scored a Millermatic 250 with AL spoolgun at an auction for
$900. Sold my Century (private label Lincoln from Sears) for $600 - no
AL spoolgun. Looks like I got an issue with the spoolgun. Otherwise,
WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT!!! I got the Century years ago and decided MIG
was only for sheet metal. Now, that's no longer true. The stick
machine won't see a lot more use.

Yes, those 250s, are simple, sleek, manageable and convenient.

I have a MM 251. But I weld almost everything with stick.
