Brazing Outfit Recommendations?

Hi Framebuilders. I'm thinking about getting a nice O/A brazing outfit to do repairs and add-ons for some of the factory frames that I've been rebuilding and customizing. For instance, I'll take an old Gary Fisher or Trek MTB frame, clean it up, sometimes have it powder-coated, and add all new wheels and components to it to make a new touring bike from it. What I'd want to do is to perhaps braze on disc brake mounts, or water bottle mounts or such.

I've got a lot of experience in tig, mig, and I've had training on O/A and brazing, and classes for all these. However, the only thing that I've ever had at my home shop is a Lincoln mig unit, and I've never had an O/A brazing/cutting outfit of my own. I was wondering if one of you kind folk could steer me in the right direction? Thanks!
