I did a lot of gasless MIG welding back when I had a real job, it's great for outdoors or site welding. However it's nowhere near as good as mixed gas + solid wire when welding thin sheet metal, or over rust. Like, Minis....!
I'd save my money...

disclaimer- I own a s/h 30+ year old Kemppi MIG, it's still going fine and I can buy spares if needed. :)
