Propane vs. Natural gas ???

I've read that the torches work with natural gas as well, can some one tell me if there is a difference when working with glass? The propane tank last a long time but I have a natural gas connection right next to my work table. It would be nice never changing tanks and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't even notice the increase in my gas bill (I use a lot already).

NGas is great if your pressure is good most places are less then 5lpms so you need to call your gas company and tell them to put a bigger regulator in and then you can run higher pressures! Peace.

I'm not a glassblower but I do like natgas over propane torches for 3 reasons. It is cheaper (here), more convenient and burns cleaner. It is easier on your eyes and leaves less residue. The drawback is that it is not as hot.
