Miller or Hobart (or maybe Lincoln) MIG Welder

Hey guys (and gals).

I'm looking to buy my first MIG welder. Initally, I was looking at Miller only (specifically the Millermatic 210). I stumbled across the Hobart IronMan 210 which appears to be the exact same thing. First are they the same company? Second, are either/both of them great or allright or crap? I've haven't looked much at the lincolns, but I would also like input on them. The 175-200AMP range seems to be about where I want to be.

Thanks for ANY welding related input.

Andy
