Default Model “O” Gas torch & Aluminium welding

In the UK the Meco Midget torch that seems on this forum to be the standard for “mini” torches is super expensive - I’ve been quoted GB£500 + for torch/nozzles/fittings - but we do have available what’s commonly referred too as the “Model O” at a much more affordable cost for me at around £100- £150. The torches are generally marketed as lead burning torches but the blurb on these says can be used for other sheet metal up to 1.5mm with oxy/acetylene.- see links

Question is has anyone had any experience of using this type of torch on aluminium - up to 1.5mm/ .063” sheet for car body panels?

Thanks
