You can use whatever torch you want , most use a 20 . Pretty much every TIG machine can be used for stick , they're both Constant Current . If that's what you have to spend either look for a deal on a used on or save up . I've seen plenty with a cooler , torch , pedal , & on a cart for what you're willing to spend . Just make sure to check out a used machine before you buy .

If you can do without the ability to weld aluminum, I would go with a Miller 150STL. It has the power to do what you listed in post #16, and is in your price range brand new. Why everybody is emphasizing more power is only for aluminum. My Dynasty 200 is on the verge of being inadequate, but I don't want anything bigger for portability. That's what I like about the 150, it will almost fit in your pocket.

Miller dynasty Same here for the dynasty. I'm spoiled at work. We have 2 Dynasty 300DX and one Synchrowave 350 plus two 450A Migs. The dynasty will bury the synchrowave. I welded 1/2" aluminum plate last week and the Dynasty laugh at it. It probably helps that they are on 3 phase 440V.
Once you play with an inverter machine you never go back.
One problem though: they are expensive beasts.
