I use the Viking/Lincoln 2450. I’m a fitter out of local 125. Had it for about 5 years now. But it’s cheaper than what your looking at. Around $200. Or less.

I have the infinity and absolutely love it. Had it for almost 2 years. My buddy has a newer one with the new lens and holy heck! It is he clearest lens I have ever seen. I just bought a t94i with a similar lens and WOW!

I have a speedglass 9000 and the miller infinity. I bought the miller because the speedglass was flashing me with tig. I'm sure the 9100 doesn't have that problem.
I love the miller, but it's a lot heavier than the speedglass. I wish it had the new lens.

i use an outlaw leather flip front with an arcone auto dark lens. it's good for getting into those tight spaces in pipe chases and won't break the bank plus it doesn't have those cheesy graphics plastered all over it.

I also have the Miller Dig Infinity. Lovely piece of kit for bench work but it is a bit on the heavy side (big LCD) so out of position work tends to pull the hood sideways.
One must tighten the tension screws for it to stay up, but the headgear is a little flimsy for my taste. The top head support broke and replacements are not that cheap.
Overall for inside work it is superb, but it requires the user to handle it with care

I have the infinity. Lens automatically turns on at the strike of an arc, although quite a few do anyway.
Depends on budget i guess
