type of torch?

Is there a torch setup that can be used for jewelry soldering as well as
lampworking? I have an air-acetylene torch now, that I understand can't be
used for glass work and I may sell it to buy something that can be used for
both. Also, what are the considerations for changing torch tips (eg, should
I plan on having a Y connection?) thanks

My wife is a lampworker and we are going the other direction - getting a
jewelry torch that uses her Oxy/propane gasses. Lampworking requires a
much larger diameter flame than would likely ever be used for jewelry
sized pieces. But a 'Y' connector from the same regulators will allow
sharing the tanks.
