Izzy - I just looked at your link. I considered getting the handled model, but I didn't think it would fit in the Tactical Tailor IV pouch I have. Its good that I went with the handleless, because the tin BARELY squeezes inside the aforementioned pouch.

If I was going to use the tin for more than an emergency survival kit, I would DEFINITELY opt for the model you have. However, all of my kits include a USGI Canteen Cup and/or 3pc German Mess Kit for general use so the Trangia is a "back up".
