Reply:I had the Miller east/west wheel hand controller.  Couldn't stand it. Too hard to adjust on the fly w Aluminum. Joe, an on off switch, even with the auto slope settings on the machine, is not gonna give you the control you need on Aluminum.  Even after a programmed hot start, your gonna need to control the amperage as the piece heats and especially near the end of the piece.  Maybe a pro will chime in about the validity of my statement, but it's what I've found to be true.  You can speed up as the matrial gets hotter, but it's not the same control as backing off the pedal.  And this needs to be done faster than my hand switch could.TA Arcmaster 300CM3XMT 304S22P12 suitcase feederX-Treme 12VSOptima pulserTA161SMaxstar 150STLHypertherm PM45OP setupStihl 020AVP, 039, 066 Magnum

Reply:If you are only getting one then the pedal hands down.  The finger control is good for when u are not able to sit at a table and weld..
