Perfect thanks Greg!

Optrel's site says the e680 replaces the model you have. That is exactly what I am looking for. You are so right about the sun burn. I used to weld cylinder heads quite a bit back in the day and many time my arms would get tanned sometimes a little red. We are talking a couple hours of welding though....

You are also right about 9 being a little dark. It is OK for aluminum but on low amp steel not so much.... I figure I will keep my current helmet for MIG welding and only use the new one for TIG.

Thanks again!

Chris
