My point exactly. See post #2.
The answer to "what welder should I buy?" is; What kind of welding are you doing?
Not satisfactory I know, but I don't think there's a nutshell big enough for the subject.

It is fun to stick metal together so I would say enjoy the learning.

A note:
Cover all your skin against UV rays from the arc. Welders(humans) always have a sunburn at the opening of their shirt collar. Not good.
Also, wear boots, not shoes. Sparks fly every where and get into places you cant imagine!
A piece of red-hot slag will burn a hole right through your sock and half way through the skin of you foot before you can say....
