??? My MIG is a Millermatic 200. Bought new maybe 20 years ago for
around $1800. With solid .035 wire and argon 75/25 mix it can easily
weld 3/8 inch material in one pass. Probably not the best way to do
most jobs though.

These are serious machines for repair and production work when you get
into the more expensive, well built units...
