Welcome, Todd- I was doing a lot of research too, and looking into the major US brands before I found the Everlast site. I was impressed with reviews on the WeldingTipsAndTricks.com website, and then after hanging out on this board for a while I was impressed that guys who had used many brands of machines chose Everlast as the machines to run their business.
I know you'll get some good information from 200DX owners here on the forum.
