If you are not going to heliarc over 1/4 aluminum, then the 225 will be fine. I would go with the 325 if itās in your budget, just because the duty cycle will never be an issue. Like I said before, I love to spend other peopleās money.
Iām partial to the Everlast myself.

If youāre TIG welding a lot of thick aluminum, buy the biggest amperage machine you can afford. Ultimately, if you can help it, you donāt want to run helium to bring up your heat because itās going to cost you a boatload. The option is there but itās an expensive one.

Iāve had mine for about 6 yearsā¦ maybe moreā¦ and I bought it so I didnt have to bring my Miller Dynasty 350 from workā¦ and it compares in a Lot of waysā¦ other than the priceā¦ a new miller is about 20k nowā¦ and the everlastā¦ wellā¦ you know. The first thing I did though, was got a pedal from ssc C925-0725 TIG Foot Control Pedal for Everlast (22K to 25K Pot) - SSC Controls - The Foot Switch Experts.
and the torch as well. I purchased a CK flex head etcā¦ as the everlast one was super stiff.
but I think those two items could be options now from everlast.
The machine has been excellent for everything Iāve thrown at it and at 1/4 the priceā¦ (at least) its well worth it. My 2 cents

The Everlast Nova Bluetooth foot pedal. I will never use a corded foot pedal again. Never.
