I am learning to weld with one of the goals being cage/car construction. I understand about cheaper/easier for someone else to do it, but I'm doing it for the experience and satisfaction(frustration?).

Here's the question: If I am going to purchase a welder to use for cages etc., what are the advantages of buying/learning TIG vs. MIG? Are the advantages of TIG worth the sizable increase in cost?

Thanks again for your input
