Not a TIG, but, for a home shop welder, I would buy the Lincoln 220v model that has infinite controls for both feed and voltage. Sorry, don't have the exact model #, but it's about $100 more than the next one down. You can overcome the lack of infinite voltage control with technique, but why? If you want to weld in all positions and do it well, you need good equipment. after that, it's all in the duty cycle, me thinks. I'm not a production shop, so I can get away with 25% duty cycle.
BTW, the TIG is a must tool for the pro or aspiring pro. My next step. Of course, by then you will be thinking of plasma cutters, etc.
