Nice feedback, thanks yall! I still have to save a bit, but wanted to start doing my research now. The TIG recommendation is noted, but I think time saved with the MIG would be a factor as well, wouldn’t it?

You do NOT want a tig machine if you working by yourself a lot. You cant tack shite up by yourself with a tig machine. Get a spool gun.

You really wouldn't be saving time because of switching gas and controls on the MIG. I have a multiprocess machine that was a great idea, but swapping polarity, guns, wire, and gas is a pain. I would get a really good MIG machine (Miller, ESAB, etc.) stick a big bottle of 75/25 on it and a 10 pound roll of 70S6 on it..done.
Then get a value brand AC TIG machine with a pedal. Burn a ton of tungsten. Most guys I know that got big TIG machines regret it unless they make a living doing hire welding.
