IMHO
While the SA200 is a great welder and one of my personal favorites, it is a
very specialized tool and may be a poor choice for a newbie welder.
They are heavy by current standards, which may not be a factor when trailer
mounted but is a concern for a truck mount. They are poor electric power
generators and consume a lot of gasoline. They are not very versatile and
are not a good power source for wire feeders or for high current
applications like ArcAir. Since they do not offer AC, they are a poor
choice for TIG welding aluminum.
Some would say that the SA300 is an even better DC generator but shares the
same limitations as the SA200 in even greater quantity. Both are ~60 year
old designs, which is both their greatest strength and weakness.
Just my .02 YMMV
