I think the MAPP torch tip can better withstand the higher heat than the propane tip. I know when I used a TurboTorch with acetylene it didn't like being throttled down, the tip would be bright red unless you turned the torch up all the way, it has to pull in enough air to help cool the tip. I think the MAPP tips are designed to do that.
