one of the things that sold me on the unit, other than the video on youtube, was the fact that it fits perfectly in the forward compartment of the utility body on my work truck. i also have a miller xmt 350 on board that i have secured in an angle frame but i remove when the truck is parked and i am away from the vehicle. if i have to i put it in the front seat and lock the doors. the EX can stay locked inside the box, out of sight.
yes i like the 250 for the extra amps it delivers. the extra power is a big deal when welding aluminum. i hardly ever use a foot pedal in the field, my torches for the ex; wp20/26 are set up with on/off (rocker) switches. i don't have a pic of the EX inside the compartment of the truck, in this photo i am using it as a stick welder doing repairs on a rolloff truck; i wanted to see how it operated off of a generator. it did just fine. i guess it's not accurate to say i use it only for aluminum; tomorrow and monday i am doing a bunch of repair work to a couple of AL workboats and i'll be using it on that job along with a spool gun.
i am considering buying a 160STH; just waiting to see some feedback.
christ, where the heck did soley come from. lol
