The choice is yours as to which one is better. For dousing down my heli I think cheaper is better. That is why I use the Walmart isopropyl stuff. I mix the Walmart 91% isopropyl 50% - 50% with water. To clean the hard to get at parts of the engine I just spray in on until it runs off and then let the rest evaporate.
Yes, alcohol burns very hot and willingly. I do not intend to throw lit matches at my freshly sprayed heli though so I do not pay much attention to the chance of fire while cleaning the heli.
