I haven't found another top-of-canister burner with the wide burner ring like the Flex has, OR the wide pot supports. Is ther one out there? Couldn't find it in Zen Stoves.com

Optimus Crux -- http://www.backcountry.com/store/OPS0001/Optimus-Crux-Stove.html -- Same stove. Just a little bit lighter, owing to one fewer pot stands. IT is also about $30 cheaper! There is also the Optimus Crux lite, which omits the folding option, making it even lighter (2.5 oz!! from Optimus' site) http://www.backcountry.com/store/OPS0008/Optimus-Crux-Lite-Stove.html Those are the two I wold recommend to you, based on what you are looking for. I do however, also have the Primus EtaExpress stove -- http://www.backcountry.com/store/PMS0032/Primus-EtaExpress-Stove.html -- It outperforms my Optimus Crux at all levels. It has a wider support base (nearly 1cm per arm) and boils water noticeably faster. Primus has done load-bearing testing with them and the EtaExpress can support a much heavier load than a cannister stove would ever be called to support. I prefer my Primus for performance.
