And yes, I do a fair amount of stick with a typical project running about 3-5lbs of 1/8 or 3/32 rod... A little more than just a 2 minute hot spot... It would be nice to put the Lincoln tombstone to the side as a backup because it's a behemoth. I want to put longer cables on it but the whole thing has to come apart and am not sure if it's worth the investment. Last time I had it apart (to replace the fan) there was a lot of corrosion in there -I bought it used.

I like the way my PP205 does stick. Very, smooth...
I have both the IM200 and 205P, like the both equal if a little lean on the more power of the 205P. I have done aluminum with the IM200 with a spool gun and no problem. No spool gun for the 205P yet, but 200 work fine.

If budget allows 205P is nice, if size is a fator, 200 will not let you down either. Once I got the 205P the 200 is setup for aluminum now or flux, 205P does all the steel now.

All of our units, that stick weld, stick weld well. PA200 has a little edge on the 6010.
