map pro & propane

[pipeline]

recently bought a Go system auto torch with map gas and was reading on here the other day, that beginners would not be able to solder properly with map/pro gas and would be better of with propane.. just wondering if someone could shed some light on the subject for me please.. thanks men

Map is very hot.
Propane is colder. Gives you more time to solder the fitting and a bigger window to get it right

Map produces higher temperatures and beginners may apply too much heat to their fittings. Personally I prefer propane and keep Map for brazing.
