blown the budget on just the welder...
That's not even the welder!

I went to a pub and it was waaaay cheaper than that, with zero rental.

neither it is, blimey what a price
I'm with BOC and I'm sure my bottle was nowhere near that
Don't even joke about those. They last 5 minutes and burn a hole in your wallet it takes many times longer to refill!
You should weld a bit faster, 3 years are you expecting a problem or two?

You rent the bottles? What happened to just replacing it with a full one like you do with gas?

Can you own the bottle, if you do a lot of work or do they screw you forever with it? Don't think I'd want to be constantly paying for something I'm not using (while I don't have time/inclanation for the build!)

This is how BOC and Air Products work. You have to rent the bottle as well as pay for the refills

You guys are getting hosed
I bought a new cylinder about that size for about $200Cdn and refills are $80.
You can rent bottles here too but it's not worth it unless you are using them in a business and need them delivered often.
Can see my cylinder behind the engine hoist here:

EDIT: thats $80 for 75% argon mix which should be more than straight CO2

I'm in California so there's a big regional difference, but I bought my bottles and never pay anything other than for gas. Granted they give
me a different tank each time I go in but there's no rent. As I recall they said they rented them years ago but no longer do. That stopped before
I bought mine back in 1997 or so.
FWIW, a 125 cu. ft. tank refill of 100% Argon runs US$35-45.

I have rented my bottle to:
Air Liquide
Buying option was more expensive.
