At my school for welding and metal fab, we used lincoln and miller exclusively. I have seen some Hobart welders around, but if you are gonna spend the money get something you can depend on. Also unless you do alot of body work, i would go with the 220. It is much more versatile. My 2 cents.

Most standard 220v shop plugs are 50-60 amp circuits. Either way that is a Smoking Deal for $700. With something like that you would likely never feel the need to buy another wire feed.
You were right about the breaker, its wire with dual 30's so I have a 60amp 220v breaker and the plug matches too!

Thats good to hear. You should be all set to make some sparks. I'm pretty certain that you will be happy with that welder far beyond what any of the other welders in that price range would offer
