I have decided to bite the bullet and buy a torch set:

I could get a plasma from 350 euro onwards, but the dealer i regularly buy stuff from, offered me a small professional quality one for 1750 euro, he said he wont sell the cheap ones because he has to attach his good name to anything he sells.
With O/A or O/propane i can also heat, and weld if required.

Propane is cheaper, but cuts rougher ? Is the price difference that big between propane and acetylene consumables ? Can you cut both with one torch ?
