I'm about to install a new radiator, and as the pipes with be visible I want soldered joints. What should I look for when buying a blow torch? There are cheap butane ones available, or is propane better? Rothenberger seems to be the choice of many pros, but is it worth the cost for an occasional diy-er? Or is a cheapo butane torch (£22 inc gas from homebase) good enough?

Ive got a cheap 'go systems' blowtorch which is butane/propane mix, its not good, but I have soldered fittings with it more than once.
