They're actually better because they don't heat the lead up as much, so won't release nearly as many fumes.
That said, if indoors, make sure you have lots of ventilation and consider a 3M mask.
We removed the paint off our original huge Victorian garage doors a few years ago, which must have contained a lot of coats of lead-based, and we had no problems.
