how do you like your MTS250S and can you answer some questions

Thanks for clearing that up Mark. I guess I always go by duty cycle. To me if a machine is rated at 60% duty cycle it is industrial. I know many new migs are rated at 35% like the mts250s. I have a millermatic 200 I purchased new in the 80s it is rated at 200 amps 60%. The new miller 252 is its newer equivalent as far as duty cycle and output go. So in my mind the MTS250S is a 200 amp industrial model even though it is rated at 250 amps. If my comparison is incorrect let me know. I will be using it in a light industrial capacity but I do not want to have to replace it every couple years. In my mind if a machine is kept below its duty cycle it should last for many years. Like my MM200, I have no intention of replacing it since it does such a good job . My expectation of the MTS250S is going to be compared against my MM200 since their duty cycles and output are very close to each other.
