Default How does this look for a beginner?

hey guys...i did a search but came up with nothing useful. i am a beginner at welding and i am buying a welder very shortly. i want it for fabbing manifolds, downpipes, etc. eventually i will want a welder that runs off of AC to weld aluminum, but for now how does this Hobart 140 look?... http://hobartwelders.com/products/handler140.html i do have some experience at mig welding. will this welder be good for a start or should i start off with something bigger that i can grow into later on? thanks...
