    The cost of the controller and spool gun is something to look at......I think the H10 gun is short enough that you would be able to replace the liner and use a tip one size larger than the wire and do just fine.....
    Good Luck,

    I thought you can use the liner for a M-25??? This is just from memory and not from buying one.
