Looking at a used Lincoln Precision TIG 185, anyone familiar with this machine things to look for?

I don't like the dials on the machine, IMO take a look at the thermal arc arcmaster 185TSW or whatever it's called nowadays (I have a prowave 185TSW but I think the name changed to arcmaster)
it's gut a full digital readout and a pulse feature which is very nice. And it's a quiet machine in AC mode. Compared to my old Hobart and my buiddies Kemppy it's really quiet, the others make a racket in AC mode.

Ok so I picked up a 2-3 year old Miller Maxstar 200DX for $850, it's only a DC machine so no aluminum but I can work around that. I only got the machine and can add a pedal for a good price later (if I don't find a smokin deal on a pedal elsewhere). The machine came from an Air Liquide from New Brunswick (it was for rentals) and doesn't look like it was used very much.
