used both machines both run very well it basically up to you . One obviously has a higher amperage capacity than the other i suggest look at the duty cycles and see which one is better and make sure they are compatible with you electricity in your shop or garage
You are asking the old "Red vs Blue which is better?" question. Chocolate or vanilla? Both are very capable machines, thousands of them in service, years of welding behind them.

I'd ask you 2 questions: what is your actual intended budget? And, what is the target of your welding mostly?
Both of these machines are transformer-based I believe. They will consume more electricity than an inverter-based machine. That means larger fuses, larger wiring, more cost on you. They are also large, heavy machines. Not much for portability. Do you need that ability?
If it were me, and you can survive with the amp range, I'd purchase a Miller Dynasty for TIG. Full stop. Smaller, better, top of the game machine. Available in 210 or 280 amps in a 50# box. You want "shop level performance", then 350 amps. Prices range from $4k - $9k. But the performance and capability of the machine warrants it. I think the Lincoln Aspect is the comparable box to the Dynasty for comparisons.
