Question About Welders/Welding

[Shakerhood]

Ok I've got it narrowed down to the Hobart Handler 140 and the Lincoln SP-135T. They both seem excellent and perfect for me just starting out. Any convincing arguements to pick one over the other? With me being a novice to welding, is one friendlier than the other? Thanks.

Both are good machines I dont think you can go wrong either way. BTW this Forum is great place to do some reading up on Welding.
