Default What first? the O2 concentrator or the torch?

Hello,
I'm new to beadmaking, not to hot glass work. I want to make beads and have started out on a Hot Head. I like it well enough to take the next step up in equipment. What should I get first, the torch and then try to find an oxycon to run it? Or is it advisable to get the oxycon machine first and then try to match a good torch with it? I only want to make beads, and will probably stay with soft glass. Also, what brand of machine would be a dependable one? I am thinking I like the GTT Bobcat for a torch. Any constructive input will be appreciated, Thanks and have really been enjoying the information on the forum.

Edit- I ordered an Ex-15 oxygen concentrator that should supply all my O2 needs regardless of what torch I get so this thread can be deleted.
Dave
