    I have both - plasma gets 90% of the work now. The real things I use the torch for now days is bending, cutting the few items over 1/2", and scarfing. You can scarf with a plasma, it is not as clean and really uses up the consumables.

    measure twice, cut once.
    or
    cut your way in, weld your way out
    or
    do it right the first time

    Don't know about alum for a front bumper. I was trying to add weight to the front on mine. I kinda like the Poison Spyder one though.
