I would say a good comparison is the simmerlite (I have used one before), first the construction of this stove is very solid (w/o unnecessary weight), and the pump feels a lot better (and not as fragile) as a MSR stove (don't get me wrong I love MSR's stuff it's just Brunton one upped them on this product). The adjustability works great and you get a 20 oz. bottle with it, so thats another $12 you don't have to spend. Overall increadable value for a great stove!
Brunton's a little skimpy on the instructions, so if this is your first liquid fuel stove a good note is to flip the gas tank over and wait a minute before shutting it off, then let it burn out. This way you'll have minumum liquid gas left in the line. The instructions say to turn off and then flip, not allowing the fumes to push the rest of the liquid out of the line.
