I had a main line ran 100 ft from the house to the garage (now man cave). And, like you, I only had 1 more space in my box. When I told him I just needed 110v because I would only run a refrigerator, microwave and TV's, He asked me if I ever planned to move? I told him I didn't know? He explained the cost of the cable would not be that much difference and that the installation cost would be the same.
After thinking about it a few minutes, my man cave was about 2.5 car garage. If I decided to sell and the next guy is not a football fan but a garage guy and wants to turn it back into a garage that would be a selling point to him. So I ran 220 and the cost difference was less that $50. Plus, if all the sudden I buy a welder, I can use it (lol). As long as I don't burn my carpet. Double lol.
Excellent advice.
