220V, Lincoln pro mig
I'm getting a pretty good deal on it, $350-$400 (hoping $350!) I'll need to get a bottle too though, and I'd prefer to buy one instead of two or three... I'll most likely get at least 2 bottles, one for stainless, and one for aluminum, I don't see why I couldn't weld mild with straight argon instead of the 75/25 mix.

+1 and what kind /brand of welder ? Small portable 110 volt or shop style 220 volt ?

From what I have researched, the recommendations are as follows to get the best weld:
For aluminum 100% argon
For stainless 90% helium, 8% argon, and 2% CO2
For mild steel 75% argon, 25% CO2
I am not sure if there is a "one gas fits all", but I would be curious to know what you find out.
