Default 3 in 1 Plasma TIG and MMA

Any one recently lashed out on one?
and what do you think?
I was initially thinking of just getting a plasma cutter
as I've surrendered my oxy acet bottles, (because they dont get used much and the rent is a bit High $) but saw 3 in 1's on Ebay

I thought I could swap my MIG shielding gas from Argoshield54 to pure Argon and use it for both MIG and TIG, but I suppose pure Argon is a bit of a waste for mild steel....

and perhaps just use LPG for heating

opinions and thoughts???

I picked up a lunchbox size DC inverter on ebay from a place in bendigo,MMA/tig and for the size and price its grouse, easy as to arc weld, up to 2.5 rods and less than 3kgs the whole set up 10A 240v
tried it out on a few odd jobs and every one has been simpler and quicker compared to any other welder to use.
Already have a plasma but would up grade to a 3 way unit otherwise.
interested in a well loved AP30 plasma?

mild 8mm, stainless 4mm, alum 6mm but gets a bit messy.
needs 10cfm min
its not the cleanest of cuts, slightly better than oxy and takes some practice.
