is it a small amp that wont take 4ga?

weldingsupply is better than knu due to prices.. weldingsupply doesnt even offer copper clad aluminum like knu-ws is all copper.

knu is pretty, that's it

hmm pure oxygen free copper, not clad. It is a few cents more depending on what kind of wire you go with from ws, but you get what you pay for.

Um, no you don't. You only get a "prettier" jacket. Nothing more. Also, OFC is a gimmick.
