The Mirage is much more efficient on gas and oxygen than a CC. It will put the heat to the core of the glass faster than a CC (or any Beth, for that matter). It has more heat density than a CC+ RP (or the Great White, or the 65 HA).
It is not as harsh on your colors - you can work crayon colors without encasing.
It is quieter.
The body stays cool. You won't burn yourself on the barrel of the torch just by looking at it.
It has an amazing flame range.
It can work any type of glass from the most finicky leaded glass to quartz and everything in between.
