What would you recommend I do?
Goals are- weld steel and aluminum, some stainless steel
Should I?
Buy an expensive multiprocess welder like a miller multimatic 220 and be done with it?
Buy separate welders ( one good mig and a AC/DC tig welder)
Buy a good AC/DC Tig and get a cheap mig?

Lincoln easy mig 140 is best value IMO

stewart leask told me this is basically what he used to build his old silver coupe.
Everlast has a ton of great products for ac/dc tig, for various budgets.

I have the powertig 200DV and have had nothing but good results. I don't use it that often and am by no means a professional welder though.
