That is a VERY good question. On the down side, it's about twice the cost
of a stand set up.

It's a long story and I need more time to use it and compare (hence update).

It does use much less gas!!!

Almost no slag when cutting.

Does weld like a TIG but to be honest I would have to weld something with
the Henrob then weld the same thing with a standard torch. So I need more
time. I have done (almost) zero welding with oxy-acet. torch. Lots of
cutting and brazing and electric welding.

I'll have to try this with a standart torch but with the Henrob I can take
bare copper wire and braze tin cans and copper.

Standard oxy-acet. torch has advantages like a rose bud and easyer to cut
small circles.

For me the Henrob 200 replaces a mig/tig and plasma rig.

I'll keep the stick, Henrob and standard torch.
