After a couple of good quality passive helmets and a <$100 AD from the #2 LWS, I finally bought a Miller Digital Pro Hobby. I stuffed some 1.5 cheaters in it and I love it. It's a great helmet. But I've only really used it extensively for SMAW and GMAW. I've only got about 15 minutes of GTAW time on it.
Some folks on this forum have given me the impression that Miller Digitals aren't that good for TIG and that I should upgrade. So far, it seems OK for TIG, but I certainly don't have enough time to draw any solid conclusions. And I haven't done any really low-amp starts.
What say you, my arcing friends? Is the Miller good enough to continue learning with, or will it cripple my education and doom me to fail?

And, given all the raves about Speedglas -- are they really that good? I'd love to hear from folks who are actually using them before I spend money for one that could otherwise go for a Strong Hand FixturePoint table.
All info appreciated. TIA.
