Ya, but point being, why suffer with it. I don't know what you're worth per hour freds, but unless it's minimum wage, the time spent cleaning up after a stick welder seems more costly than the cost of a mig...
plus you'll have that mig for future fun also!
Third, personally I am now spoiled by a one handed welder. It is nice to have another hand free for wet rags or whatever to help with the job.
