I used a Midrange Plus until I recently upgraded to a Barracuda, and for
the money you simply can't beat it. IMO there is no comparable torch on the market that gives you similar performance for the price. I used the top burner for soft glass beads and the bottom burner for boro, and even on two concentrators it really cooks. It's an efficient torch and gives great performance with natural gas. It's also a workhorse... Nortel torches are bulletproof. And coming back to the price... well, you just can't touch it. I think it's an overlooked serious contender in the mid-range (ha) torch market. For that matter, though I love my Barracuda and there are a few details about the performance that do make it a better torch, it wasn't a big step up.
