Default Need HELP from you welders!!!!

I'm interested in buying a MIG/TIG welder. Haven't decided which one just yet. I do have access to a MIG welder so I'm leaning towards the TIG. Problem is, I have no experience welding but plan on taking classes to learn. Need help from you experienced welders on what type of setup would benefit me the most. My plans are to use it for fabrication and automotive purposes. Also some light projects around the house and in the garage. Something portable and not too expensive. Remember I have NO experience welding. Just don't want to break the bank the first time out. Most likely will go with a TIG setup since I have access to a MIG but would like opinions on both. Such as brand (Lincoln/Miller), usage/purpose, benefits/disadvantages of both MIG/TIG, just a general honest opinion. I have "NO" welding experience so I'm pretty much counting on your opinions when it comes time for my purchase decision. Hope that doesn't put alot of pressure on you guys, THANKS.
Joe
