How does this stove compare to the MSR WindPro Stove? The Jetboil seems to boil faster. Does that mean that it uses less fuel? In the long run is the Jetboil lighhter? (Assuming that you would need to carry more fuel plus a pot for the MSR WindPro Stove.) I'm looking for a light packable stove to use on Mt Washington in the winter. Any other recommendations?

Ok, the Jetboil will have the advantage in almost every catagory. It is more fuel efficient, more compact, and easier to use. Weight is probably a wash. The Windpro has a few advantages. It will be more stable due to the remote canister and because it has a generator tube it will allow the canister to be inverted. This is an advantage in extreme cold... by extreme I mean temps well below zero degree F.
