I've got a Hobart 250 ironman, the big one. I think it was about $1300 or so. Northern Tool had a deal that you could make like 4 credit card payments. SOmething to consider. It'll pretty much weld anything you'd ever want to build (sheetmetal, framework, aircraft carrier.....). Miller does own hobart and they share many components, but the hobart does use a few parts that are cheaper quality (I think the spool drive is plastic compared to metal in the miller) but it is all in parts that usually don't break anyway (electronics are the same). If you are buying for heaVy, constant industrial use, get miller, for light industrial or home, save the money and go hobart. And get 220. You'll never regret buying too much welder, but I know you'll regret buying to small of one.
