Default need help on tig welder decision!!

whats up guys!
im about to buy a welder, i just want good reliable machine so i thought ill just buy it 2nd hand.
i wanted to get a miller or a lincoln but these are SUPER rare here in europe so im looking into other brands as well.

screw germany, everything is super exepensive there and i rarely see people fabricate their own stuff at home, so i headed to ebay uk. i found this one

and just wanted to ask what you guys think about this machine:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Selco-Genesis-...3%3A1|294%3A50

im not sure about the 150 amps and i dont really now if i need pulsing because it doesnt come with that feature and im not sure if the 150 are gonna cut it (still waaaaaaay more power then my current mig machine haha )

help me out guys!!

edit: should i got for the optional footpedal? is that really better?
id really like toxic to say something about it, because if i remember correctly he uses one of those smaller machines
