Okay, when you guys have reached a final conclusion, how 'bout cluing
in the non-torch-literate amongst us (myself included) EXACTLY what
torch and configuration you mean.

Seems to me when this discussion was young (a month or three ago) I
visited the Harris site and found a plethora of different torches
there.  I have no idea which you guys are talking about!

Then please remind us all what this torch is good for.  IIRC, the
assertion stands that a oxygen-propane torch won't weld, but can be
used for anything else an oxy-acetylene torch can be used for.  Is
that correct?

I've had need for a torch from time to time but have always squeaked
by with single-gas torches.  (Of course, I also have a gas forge,
propane-air.)

Since I don't have an AllStates It is hard for me to  do a direct comparison to that but when compared to my Victor torch with a high pressure regulator and standard mixer the Harris with the low pressure mixer is clearly superior.
