It is so nice to be able to hit the switch and instantly have the outerfire burst on to heat large globs of glass. I personally would do concentrators on the inner fire and a tank on the outerfire. With the Scorpion, you could easily get by with a cheap 5LPM concentrator on the cricket centerfire that would do 80% - 90% of most beadmakers work. This would mean the tanked oxygen would last a fairly long time especially if the claims of improved oxy efficiency on the otherfire are also true.

The more I think about it this might be the best configuration for me. I am not sure I could give up my Mirage now that I have used it a while. If nothing else, it is fun just to rage it every once in a while when I am home and can play. I really need to find someone that has a Scorpion and play with it a bit. I may be able to get rid of some of the other torches and put this on my the other planned boro bench.
