I have & used both. They have similar BTU output, pot stability, & durability. The main differences are the Lite Max forms a ball of flames which is distributed more evenly over the bottom of your pot rather than a rocket flame produced by the Pocket Rocket which causes a hot spot. The Lite Max is also 2oz lighter. They both work well in windy conditions but the Lite Max can be adjusted to a lower setting, making it better for simmering.
