Default Any _relatively_ inexpensive TIGs?

I had a tigging job done recently on a workpiece I have historically MIG
welded (milled aluminum to cast aluminum).

I can swing a reel gun OK, but the TIG work was purely elegant in both
penetration and cosmetics. So, now I'm interested.

I have a small budget (no minimum G). Anybody have experience with
affordable TIG units that have enough features to make it work well on
aluminum and stainless?

Miller Synchrowave 250s are nice. Up from there if you want more features
or amps. Used units are available very reasonably in the current economy.
