Thom, I have a Miller Econotig which also comes with a "stick" welder torch. I weld almost everything with my tig (even though I have a 110 mig collecting dust). When I have to do any large scale heavier welding (mower or tractor repair), I just use the stick welding feature of the Econotig.
Once you have a tig and learn how to use it, it is hard to go back to mig (at least for home hobby type welds that you want perfect). The last time I priced Econotigs they were about $1500. Lincoln and Hobart offer similar AC/DC HIGH FREQ air cooled units also (you need this type if you are going to weld steel AND aluminum).
Mig welders as you know are easy to use, but tig is capable of much more precision and control once you learn how to use it.
