Yes, I noticed the TIG/Plasma combos.  They look attractive, but I
have always managed to cut stuff reasonably well
with saws, zizz wheels, etc.  A plasma cutter would be neat to use,
but it seems more like a time-saver than
something that fundamentally improves the quality or sophistication of
the work that you can accomplish.

They also make an AC/DC TIG/Plasma/Stick machine, but it needs 220,
and it's a lot of money to put into
an imported tool...
