25lb bottle to fill is about $30. and most places don't rent bottles anymore-they just swap out the bottle each time you need it filled. I think my little bottle cost $50. to buy.Most mig units have gas hook-ups that you can upgrade to later and you could start with Core-flux wire and that saves you the initial cost of gauges, hose and a bottle upfront.
