Thanks everyone for your valuable and informative input ! It's greatly appreciated.

I've started my so called research, and have found that the local farm supply store's prices are 10-20% less than the couple of sources mentioned in the replys here. They carry three brand names, across all price points.

For "Mark 69 911", I appreciate the offer to use your "Mig", but being in the Midwest, I think I'll pass !

Again, thanks all !
