   Indoors, not vertical welding - good MIG wins by a long way.   
   This weld seen in the pic. on the webpage is exactly "it".   
   With spray arc you get plenty of fusion, etc.   
      
   Outdoors, has to be stick / 7018 typically.   
   Only weather-proof process.   
   Is nice, but is slower.
