After debating, I just went ahead and bought two medium sized tanks from AirGas last year. It was pricey, but I don't have to worry about returning them. As for my torch, regulators, and hoses, I bought a Forney torch kit from my local Farmer's Co-op. It came with the torch, regulators, hoses, etc. It's Victor style, so you can swap parts with Victor parts if you need to. Thusfar I've used it to heat plate, bars, and rods, as well as cut 3/8" plate. I've also used the welding head to do a little brazing. It's performed well and I haven't had any problems with it.
