Thanks everyone. This has been super helpful. I think i am leaning toward the arcapatian just because it gives me more room to grow and several of you mentioned that beginners can still learn on it without too much hassle. Now I can definitely see why the Lincoln is recommended in schools and by instructors. If I was only planning to just in start or part time I would probably go with Lincoln. But since I want to keep progressing and take on bigger projects ARCCAPTAIN feels like the better long-term pick. Really appreciate all the advice here!Thanks all.
I like your thoughts as frustration is definitely something I want to avoid early on. I do not mind practicing, but I do not want to get discouraged right out of the gate. I will keep that in mind as I compare them.
thanks for your reply. I do not want to overcomplicate things but at the same time I do not want to waste money on something I willl outgrow in a year. I will probably start with small shelves and repair projects therefore I can see myself wanting to take on heavier stuff as I improve. It sounds like Lincoln is simpler for learning but ARCCAPTAIN gives me more headroom.
