I bought a Lincoln 216 a few months back to replace a smaller flux only unit that was stolen. I bought it at that time because they were running a special where you could get $100 back or you could get a spool gun. Of course I went for the spool gun. With the small aluminum stuff that I've done so far I'd have had much better luck with a TIG but that would be $$$$ and this is way better than what I had before anyway. I found out the hard way about moving fast as the first couple of scraps that I tried to weld just turned into molten AL and dripped on the floor. Luckily not my feet! My Lincoln also has a reference chart for power, metal gauge, wire speed/thickness, etc. on the inside of the cover. I've found that to be quite convenient so far.
