Miller 180 here.
I bought it for both sheet metal and frame fab and the fact it's a one-stop shop for all my welding needs. Plus the name and that’s what I was trained on in school.
Though, I have to agree with R-Bo. If your looking at cost the difference is that you could get the fill set-up with the Hobart rather than spending the $$ on a Miller. I put out 800 for just the welder and now need to go back and get the C25. Also, if I wanted to weld aluminum I’d need to purchase the spool gun and adapt it to the 180. I’m not sure what’s involved with doing this with the Hobart, probably the same.
Your choice,
Good luck.
