Just an update, I think I'm set for now... put in an order with weldingsupply.com this morning for some 'on hand' items. Now I have 1/16 and 3/32 lanthanated tungsten, ER70S-2 filler in 1/16 and 3/32, 309 (thanks cbmkr) in 3/32, 308 in 3/32, 4043 and 5356 in 1/16, 3/32, and 1/8. 1LB of each but the 309, figure it's good for a start. Ordered some .030 ER70S-6 for the MIG to go along with the .023 that I seem to have wound up with 3 rolls of. I need some 1/16 in both stainless still as well as 316L, but those will have to wait for next payday as will the 1/8 lanthanated tungsten. Debating on building a small rod oven to keep some 7018 on hand, the 6011 is a PITA, but worked for what I needed.
I've ordered from Cyberweld and been thrilled, Plenty happy with Weldfabulous, but both places had prices out of line with others on things I needed. We'll see how weldingsupply goes, hopefully smooth, some damn fine prices on filler and tungsten.
Now, if I can get the shop cleaned between storms this weekend I'll be able to get some welding done. Too much damn wind this week to weld outside anything but stick or flux core.
