JB- I have that stove and give it a luke-warm endorsement. It was my primary backpacking stove for years. What do you think your primary use will be? Are you a white gas guy or a propane guy or an isobutane guy? Pros are that fuel is carried in the stove and that it is really rugged. Cons are the weight, cold weather performance (without perheating paste), and long-term issues with fuel quality management and minor leaks. Give us a sense of your needs and perhaps a more concrete recommendation can be made.
