Question for the learned:
I currently have a Unimig 210 which has seen a fair bit of work (think I'm on about my 10th 15kg spool). I am considering upgrading and the two main options I'm considering are:
1. Multifuntion Tig/Mig/arc like a unimig 350 (but I don't really like the controls on that specific model). Or.
2. Pony up a little more and get a mig pulse.
Thoughts?

The pulse function is primarily for very light guage material. In aluminium it's for less than 3mm. I don't like pulse if I can't control all parameters. Factory program are average at best. My next home mig will be the pulse uniden mig. I do a lot of 3mm aluminium.

No idea whatsoever myself but can you buy 15 kg and wind your own 5kg spools to suit?

Can be done but must be layered carefully.
You could set up a jig or just buy a 15 kg reel machine.
