Tried a Miller 350P against a Lincoln Power MIG 256 last week on some 3/8 plate

I've been running a Lincoln 256 for years and thought it was fine until I borrowed my buddy's Miller 350P for a job in Tulsa. The arc was way smoother on the Miller and I could actually see my puddle better with the pulse settings. I got a 25% faster travel speed on the Miller, no joke. Has anyone else made a switch between these two and noticed a big difference?

25 percent faster travel speed? Man, that's wild. I've been running a Lincoln 256 for about six years now in my little shop, and I always figured it was just me being slow. Hearing you got a full quarter bump on speed makes me wonder if I'm leaving a lot on the table with my old machine. That's a serious difference in time and money on a bigger job for sure. I gotta say, that kinda throws my whole setup into question now.
