Oleg responded to an email I sent this evening. Looks like he is going to be able to have a wp9 added to the shipping of the 225lx I ordered. Hopefully it goes out this week.
I'll probably continue to use my mig for the larger welding projects but will likely get a cooler (when funds are replenished) so I have the option with the tig on bigger projects.
I hope the everlast wp9 has pliant hoses as I'd hate to have to struggle with that up here in the inland north west when it is frozen.
It'd be nice if there was a way to compare the size of the torches online. Maybe a couple of side by Sid pictures.

There is always hope but don't rely on it alone.
