I agree.

When I was getting my studio set up, I could easily save $ by getting an R rated instead of a T rated oxyfuel hose, but I did not want to risk it. I would rather spend less on a torch without all the bells an whistles than to try to save on the gas stuff. I did my research online before going to a welding shop. They're knowledgeable with welding torches, but when you throw propane in the mix, some might be tripped up and give you the acetylene advice. I take every welder store peoples' opinions with a grain of salt when it comes to glass torches.
