Hi there, welcome to the forum.
I can't help you with your choice because I'm a tig welder. You're obviously in a hurry and I know all about that. New members usually post in "Introductions" telling us a little about themselves first before requesting assistance. If you do this I am sure you will get some replies soon.
Cheers.

Yea I am it's because I bought a thunderbolt because of welding tips and tricks but I also stared watching other videos and it seams like 60% usage beats the 20% but I'm worried of the brand I trust miller but wouldn't mind something cheaper and that works the same

You can try messaging Lanse - he's got a power arc 300 & seems to love it - check out his video's - not sure how impartial his views are as I don't recall if he bought that unit full retail or if Everlast sponsored it - it looks a good unit for the money but they've not been out long enough to judge how well they last long term - if new technology does'nt scare you I'd go with the inverter - once you've used one it's hard to go back to a transformer especially if you need to haul it around.

I have a PowerArc 300. It does great with 6010! I wish the arc force went a little lower so 7018 would wet out better. Lincoln's Excalibur 7018 doesn't do to bad, but I'd still like to see it wet out a little more.

Now you're talking sense - more is always better :D

Besides, eventually the Everlast will fry itself and you'll always have the other welder to count on :)
