Don, sounds like your new wire is getting you where you want to be!! I know what you mean by being able to see the material. When doing smaller piece work, I try to be out in the sun. I have a Miller helmet...auto darkening...with added magnifying lenses inside...that's in addition to my bifocals!!! I'm happy with it for both stick and mig.
Best of luck with your projects.....Dick.
