Nice, good point on the availability of smaller nozzles. I've got the J-28 listed in my parts list - I'll look into the A1WA. At this point, I'm planning to buy an outfit from my local supplier. Smaller nozzles and lighter tubing along with the fact that (as you said) I can't seem to find a premade kit that includes these parts supports going to my local supplier. Plus most kits online seem to include a cutter (and no flash arrestors?), which I don't think I need at this point.
