Assuming you're somewhere in North-America, why use pseudo-MAPP gas?

Real/genuine MAPP gas no longer exists.

There's not much difference between pseudo-MAPP and propane in terms of performance—it burns only slightly hotter in air.

And MAPP is much more expensive!

 

"In early 2008, true MAPP gas production ended in North America when production was discontinued at the only remaining plant in North America that still manufactured it. However, many current products labeled "MAPP" are, in fact, MAPP substitutes."

 

Edited to add:

Flame temperature in air....

Propane 3,600 degrees

MAP/Pro 3,730 degrees
