Default want to replace my welder lincoln invertec 155 dc

hi guys.
i have a lincoln invertec 155 dc tig welder
and im getting bored welding stainless all the time + i lose money since i cant to aluminum jobs.

my budget is around $1500 after i will sell my lincoln.

so, iv been looking at the miller diversion 165 or the 180 and it seems like a decent unit, same for the lincoln Square Wave™ TIG 175 which are in my price range,

as for prices:
miller units does not come with foot pedal i will need to buy it separatly,
miller 165 $1,267.77
miller 180 $1,667.00

lincoln:
Square Wave™ TIG 175 $1300

which unit do you think is better?

IMO, get the largest unit you can afford.. I bought a Dynasty 200dx a while back and now I'm kicking my self I didnt get the 350dx, I've already outgrown my 200dx in regards to alloy work. I wish I bought the 350

This is a very similar question to the one that I keep asking myself every few weeks. . . What did you end up buying?
