Default GTT Bobcat review

Hello LE community!
I just bought a GTT Bobcat and I wanted to share some feedback since I found it difficult to get info when making my torch purchase decision. Chose this over an Alpha, the Minor(s), and National torches.

Cost: $270 shipped to Los Angeles (included tiny L-marver)
Wait time: Quoted 2 weeks, turned out to be 2 months. Classic GTT
Condition: Perfect, no damage
Performance: Good valves and candles are all very even

I'm running an M10 oxycon dialed down to 8 lpm for purity's sake. I control my flame with propane knob only and can dial down the flame to a 1.5" long pin point. I can also turn it up to a 5/8" wide, 1ft long neutral flame and a slightly bigger reducing flame. Gets dragon breath flame as well for flame annealing.

So far the biggest item made was a 1" soft glass marble. No issues at all and I'm guessing I could have gone to 1.5" without too much trouble.
