The smaller torch on top is a feature that a lot of boro peeps like, if you get a premix top, you have a built in cutting flame without having to adjust your working flame below.
I really like the Nationals too. Both the Mid-Range Plus and the RedMax are great torches. Both come with the smaller torch on top. Usually, people get either the Minor (surface mix) *or* the pre-mix torch as the smaller torch on top. But, I have seen someone who mounted one of each on their RedMax! Talk about the best of all worlds.

I'm sure that the Nationals can have the top torch added later. But, I'm not sure how to order just the top torch. I'm sure that there's a specific part number for it; I just don't know what it is.

And yes, the surface mix top torch is identical to the Minor Burner.

I've seen someone replace the Minor Burner on their RedMax with the new Mega Minor. Sweet !!!!
