Looking for a good TIG welder

[ARAMP1]

Well, I've saved a few $$ and I'm in the market for a good TIG welder and I'm taking recomendations. I don't want to ever have to buy another welder again. I've got $1600 to spend and could go up to $2000 if needed. It doesn't need to be new, but it needs to be in good condition. Any suggestions?

What thickness Al are you planning on welding? If you are going to stay under 1/4", Miller's Econotig should be fine, and economical also.

I really can't think of an instance that I would go over 1/4 inch aluminumn, but I don't want to be limited by it.

We use a Synchrowave 200 at work, and I like it a lot.

miller has some real good portable units for the price range you speak of. it can run off of 110v or 220v. i use these machines everyday to weld stainless steel in field conditions. the unit weighs like 20 pounds. it also doubles as a manual arc welder as well. you can pic one up brand new for about $1600, and all you have to do from there is pick up a bottle of argon.
