everyone has a opinion on this, but i wouldn't get a 110. i would shop around for a 220 like a smaller hobart. i wouldn't get just a flux core either. i sold a hobart 140 handler w/flowmeter for about $400 a year or so ago. i would try for something like that. a good used one. 110 will just disapoint you, flux will just look crappy, not weld cool enough for thin pieces, and have pinholes. cheaper welders made offshore just don't have the parts support that brand name ones do, and they are the ones that really need the parts support! most local welding shops can look up and order parts for lincoln and miller. they are just better machines. you will eventually want to weld something better than a 110 flux core will do.
