I think that's right about Hobart. I have no experience with that actual machine however. I do have a hobart ac/dc stick welder here at thouse and it's been a top quality machine. In fact I like it over the miler/lincolc because you can dial to the exact amps you need.

I have a synchrowave 250 for tig welding here at the house as well. No experience with the econtig.

Both Miller and Hobart have excellent forums on their website and you'll get some good info - even it it includes another brand.
