I'ld rather have 220 power. If you only plan on joining 1/8" steel, then maybe. In arc-welding, the axiom holds true, "Go big, or go home." Sooner or later, (usually sooner) you want/need to weld thick material, plate thickness, or a homogeneous assembly that amounts to thick material. Tradewater's Lincoln Idealarc is the proverbial 400 pound gorilla, really nice example too!
I'd rather have 220 power as well -- and eventually I will, once I can find time to run power out to the shop building in progress, wire it, and finish closing it in.
until that point, I have access to 110/120V circuits.
