Yeah, the MaxStar 150 would be the lowest I would go. Anything under that is pretty crappy. The problem with scratch to start is that you need a nice sharp point for a nice weld on SS, the scratching can kill that. This is why most people don't have a TIG at home, they aren't cheap for one that is going to work well.

The biggest changes with the better ones is the RF modulation. You can weld aluminum much better. Some of the cheaper ones won't even do cast aluminum.
