i don't know any of them.
however they all look like bottom end multi's
one issue is they are migs with very basic tig tacked on the side.
i didn't see any that came with tig torch.
i have a multi machine here and i found the tig to be a major pain. mainly because its lift arc.
tho the stick function is useful.
i've now got separate machines for each process.
frankly i would suggest getting separate machines unless you get one of the lot more expensive do everything multi units that are out now (eg everlast).
