Default buying a welder

ok i was about to buy a lincoln electric mig welder the other day becuase it was on sale at canadian tire. the model was mig pak 140. i didnt end up buying it. then the next day i was in home depot and saw a lincoln electric 3200HD mig welder for $50 more. so i looked at the specs and they seem to be the same. anyone know what the difference is? oh and i looked on lincoln electric's website and couldnt find the 3200hd.

the 140 is discontinued i believe, and they only have current models on the website,

Go with the 3200, way better, not gonna have any problem finding parts or anyhting like that, and its an over all better machine

try looking up the sp175 plus... this is what I use it has way more heat and wire speed setting than the 3200hd but the only bad thing is you wont find it at your local weld shop, you got 2 go through lincoln. Also I recommand you get 220 instead of 110.
