I have one of these 6" fishtails, its a vintage Hyde casting from venice blvd. It is absolutely my favorite burner head over my 16" and 24", rarely experience any adjustment problems and I use it more than the others, just using a rag to swap out on my economiser when needed. It keeps the heat down in my shop as I do a lot of my bends over it. But its not for sale! I also appreciate the web link to the custom burner site, I had a fellow neon bender friend in California who had a unique looking burner similar to what I seen in their catalog and it was very efficient so thx for that link!
