This stove has more output and can burn more fuels (the whisper lite international cannot burn jet fuel). This stove also has a better pot support system. The trade off would be gaining 4 oz in weight.The Whisperlite has much better simmer control. They both produce 10,000 BTU's.From Ray: I really don't want to argue with Jeff----but I have to. The Whisperlite has a lot of great qualities, but MSR went to the trouble of inventing the Dragonfly to have a stove with better simmer control and more stability. Please refer to my above question answers on the Nova +, then look at Backcountry.com's Nova reviews. The Nova + simmers Great!Ray
