To add to the 25/75 Argon, once you do that first $100 or so for the first bottle and gas, that is it, you will only have to pay for fill ups after that. I ended up getting the big bottle as I was filling it up a lot.
I got the Hobart 140 welder as well and it came with the regulator, so you shouldn't even have to buy that.

A thing to keep in mind about the flux core is it may give you one hell of a time for paint adhesion failure if it isn't fully cleaned off, that is why it is a big NO NO to do it on the body. You may think you got it cleaned off, but, you won't know until it is too late and then you got problems.
When I had a paint guy come over the 1st thing he did was to make sure I was using MIG gas, if I used flux core he would have walked away on the spot and he would not touch the car because it is a bastard to work with when it is time for paint. My other paint guy I was working with warned me as well.
A BIG thing to think about even though your doing floors, the money spent now to get gas will save you a big heartache for possible paint failure and rustling rust on the floors later. Your going to kick your self in the *** later if you have to tear your car apart because you discovered your new patch work is rusting back out because the paint failed because you thought you had cleaned the flux core 100% but not knowingly did not.
For small jobs around the house, lawn mower, or what not flux core has it's place, do you really want the possible mess later on your car and baby??? Just saying.....
Again something to think about, you've been warned.

Lynn, what are you trying to say,.....but seriously, he's trying very hard to not sound like a jerk and tell you what to do,......the gas will make your work night and day better, much easier, cleaner, all around just the ticket you're looking for. Try the gas,...you'll never flux again, guaranteed.

Note to self,.."improve your sarcasm" Lynn, I was sarcastically joking about you not making it clear what you thought about gas vs flux, there is no comparison.
My kids don't think I'm funny either, I'm pretty sure the cat does though
