I recently bit the bullet and bought an AC DC TIG welder. The welding shop said NOT to buy a foot control as he said 1 in 40 people use one. This seems at odds with what I have read. I will be mainly using the machine for various thicknesses of aluminium up to say 5-6mm (capacity of machine). The torch that came with it has a thumb wheel for amperage control and an on/off button.

What say the experienced TIG welder on here? Is the torch thumb wheel OK or should I shell out even more money for a pedal???? Don't want to spend money I don't need to.
I should note I have never TIG welded, only ever MIG.
