at REI Summary:
Make no mistake about it... this is a luxury purchase. But a really, really nice one. You certainly don't need the .5 oz Ti weight savings or the piezo to stay alive. But the Ti sure looks cool, and the ignition has a way of making you feel like lazy backcountry royalty.
Design is outstanding - it folds up tiny, has excellent pot support (for a canister), and the control knob adjusts easily. For a solo lightweight backpacker that doesn't want to mess around with home-made alcohol stoves, this is it. I haven't burned a canister start to finish in one trip yet, but it looks like one of the small, 110g canisters should take me for about 6 days, cooking 1.5 times per day + breakfast tea in moderate conditions.
Wind resistance is the only weak point for the stove - it lacks the built-in windscreen the Primus models have. No problem for short trips, but I'll use a small aluminum windscreen to help out for longer ones. If you're always up high and windy, the Primus Alpine looks like it may be the slightly better choice.
Best thing is that the small canister and stove fit inside SP's Mini Solo cookset along with a sponge, salt/pepper, spices, and a spoon. So my entire cooking package is about half the size of my 3/4 Ultralite Thermarest in the pack, which is awfully sweet when you're pushing for a low-capacity, compact, lightweight pack.
Killer stove - I look forward to many more nights with it. Customer Service:

at EMS Summary:
Just a little NOTE: For all of you who think isobutane/propane mixture can't handle the cold.... oh boy let me tell you it does. In the mid 90's on the storm of the century here on the East Coast me and friend summited a local mountain. The air temp was -22 F outside our tent which was dug in a few feet in the snow. The window was a steady 60 plus. My Primus EAGLE fuel cannister iso/pro mix stove lit the very first click and did it 3 times that night for warmth! Unless I am out for more than 2 1/2 weeks anywhere in the world stick with gas cannister. Quick,reliable,nofuss,easyclean,reliable,rugged to the bone. Bottomline! Similar Products Used:
MSR ShakerJet, RapidFire, BlueMountain, Peak1 Multifuel.

at Snow Peak Summary:
I just want to say a few brief words about this stove. Super lighweight, easy to light, extremely packable, titanium, fun to play with, can't wait to cook, blow my friends away, titanium, want to camp more, blazingly hot, first one finished, titanium, got to have it, gear...It is plagued with all things canister, but a super-trick gearhead torch that has been the envy off all my gear-lovin pals. What more can I say? Similar Products Used:
MSR Superfly and Pocket Rocket, Gaz Turbo 270 HPZ, Primus Alpine Micro and Titanium, Coleman Xtreme

at back country store Summary:
This is my first canister type stove, and the convenience is great. Super easy, and it is very light and compact. So far I've only used it in huts, but outside in the wind I doubt it would perform as well as a liquid fuel type stove. Beautifully made. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for. The best packaging of all stoves of this type that I have seen. Similar Products Used:

at Northernmountain.com Summary:
This stove is incredible! It is unbelievably light and small, yet a small propane/butane tank lasts a week. The stove is incredibly hot and very reliable. My only complaint is that with such a small footprint, the stove is easily tipped over. You have to be extremely careful to stabilize the tank otherwise your food and water will be eaten by the ants!
