I bought one of these and I liked it, but it is a little hard to get the rope in the teeth, unlike the ATC. With the ATC you can put the rope to the side, at any place and it stops the fall. With the ATC-XP you have to get it in those little teeth. Now you can flip it around and use it the other way, but whats the point of getting the ATC-XP. If you are just starting out, this is a good item, it will give you a little edge. If you are not just starting out, and you are exploring new stuff, I prefer the ATC because I like the simplicity much better.

This stove is so cool. I bought the non-titanium model, but I don't feel the need to count ounces sooo that little extra does not bother me. The auto-start on this thing is the coolest, you never need matches, just click the lil auto start thing and off she goes. I bought my stove, tank of gas, and pots, for all under the price of just a reg white gas stove. This thing simmers so much better then the white gas stoves that I have used in the past. The stove is also very small, about the size of one of those tall shot glasses. This is the best stove that I have ever used.
