Default Hot powder application?

I've seen a couple of units around (one is on eBay right now) that use a fuel such as propane, and apply powder to parts in what sounds like a pre-melted state. Are there advantages or disadvantages to this method? The guns I've seen were in the $500 range, which is still in the high end hobby price range, and seemingly less than professional price range. One gun says it will use propane, MAPP gas, acetylene, and a couple of others. It is a hand held gravity feed gun similar to Caswell's. I'm just curious of how this method works, and it's pros and cons. Thanks!
