Do you need the portable AC/DC tig that the Lncoln offers?
The miller 215 has more output than the Lincoln and that package you linked includes a spoolgun along with the tig kit
Which do you think would be the more useful setup.
Lincoln Tig and Mig deal and I would get two carts to put these on.

-OR-
The Miller 215 with all the accessories realize the Tig is only for steel,

Already have the Miller Dynasty 280 DX tig machine loaded but looking for a semi portable smaller mig and the Lincoln double deal looks attractive also.

If you are getting two carts with the Lincoln deal that IMO it's a better deal. You could always sell a cart and recoup some money for the Lincoln Spool gun if you ever have a need for one and you would have the added features of AC HF Tig iirc. Not sure if the SW200 does lift start tig but I want to say it does but IDK. You would get a foot pedal with the SW200 which may work on the 210MP. You would get two gas regulators so you don't have to switch regulators any time you switch from Mig to Tig. Oh yeah and you get two machines vs. just one so if one machine does ever fail you have one other machine to use while the dead machine gets repaired. With the Spool gun at $250.00 the Lincoln deal is still cheaper.

FWIW,
I sold my 210mp. I was one of those that ran into quality controls issues early on and really didn't like the responses I got. Saying, "don't worry about the wobble in the drive feeder, it doesn't make a big difference", is unacceptable for me. Of course, when they had the wheel adapter molded, they never told the china guys that 25 thousands run out is not OK.
We all know Lincoln and the other biggies are now going to china. IMO, I'd rather go with guys that have "already been dealing and making china stuff for a while", unlike these guys what are just getting into it.
Just my two cents.

Appreciate the points of view you have all shared.
After researching them further I think I should wait on these and get a full size shop model. Maybe a 252 or 350P.

I tried the 200sw, welds good, but I don't like the pedal. Didn't seem to have much low end control, then seems to make a big jump to the upper amperage. But I'm used to using the AHP pedal which seems to have better and more linear amp control

A major complaint I had with the AHP was also the TIG torch connection. I had the second generation one and it screwed on. I like to take everything apart and store things nice and organized when not in use.
Of course they released a new version a year later with the dins connector.

The 210mp sw200 are pretty new I don't think Lincoln is going to replace them too soon. But if they suddenly release an adjustable post flow version after I buy this one il be pretty pissed lol.
