Re best auto mask upto 70

This one seems like a bargain if a little more (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ESAB-Origo-Te...14&_trkparms=72:1688|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318)

I wonder why this mask is significantly cheaper than the eyetech models. On the surface, they both do the same task, so why the £100++ difference?

Steve?

Could it be the viewing area? I know that Speedglas offer different models with different sizes of viewing area. Or maybe extra twiddly bits like sensitivity, shades etc.

I'm waiting for Weldequip to come along and set me right, but the shell looks brittle to me...i dunno, too shiny somehow....i get suspicious of shiny things.

I'm interested in a new lid as well, the early esabs weren't very long lasting, i wonder if theyve improved them, there is a bit more spec here, says that they are ok for TIG at 20 amps, anyone used one?
