just comes down to a ford vs. chevy thing really
Iv'e got a miller 210...a buddy of mines dad has a lincoln 215. I can seriously use either one and be just as happy.
It would be nice to have the extra 3 feet of gun cable, since my garage gets kinda hard to walk around in with the machine pulled out from the wall, but that's the only thing I can think about that either one has over the other.

What ^^^ he said. Kind of just depends on if blue or red goes better with your garage/shop color theme.:flipoff2: You will get people that love both of them.

The Lincoln also has a 115V outlet built in to run a grinder or whatever. The outlet and the 15' gun cable length are what decided it for me...and the fact that my current Lincoln (SP-100) has been getting abused for the last 16 years and still works perfectly.

linclon 215 here and a miller 210 across the street. I have used both alot and don't have a preference. what is your favorite color and which can you buy parts for more easily.

Really?? The 215 makes just as nice of a weld as my 210? I find that hard to believe just because I am so happy with the 210 that I didn't think anything would compare. I am going to be in the market for another unit in this class soon for production work and if you guys say the 215 is as good as it is I will consider that heavily as I like the outlet and I always loved my old 175 Lincoln.

I've got a Miller 210 and I am 100% satified with it. I sold my Lincoln 140 to buy the Miller. It has served me well for the short amount of time I have have had it. I like the blue better IMO.

The Miller is awesome. I havn't used the 215 but I have never had problems with the 210 so I would definitly reccomend it.

i would reccomend the 251 Zach. We use one in the shop, I have a 210 at home. The fine adjust on the voltage is really nice. I love my 210, but I enjoy using the 251 more, especially when you are working with different thickness materials
