I used AMD for everything. Its alot nicer than others and heavier gauge. I have a NOS trunk lid and bought an AMD and the AMD is heavier by a few lbs. Go check out Dan and his shop. Excellent work, sends pics constantly, great communication.
I have been in collision shops for 20 years . Never seen it used . Kinda sad really . I have cut parts off that use it good stuff .

Less heat ? I know it grinds easier than mig welding .

You are correct. Per Dan, it does use less heat and is easier to grind. I am not very familiar with it myself.
