The Svea123 is a great stove.  Actually the first stove I ever used.  Buddy's dad had one from days of yore. $100 for a quality stove is about right.

The price range he is quoting is for ONLY the "quietizer cap" (designated as either a dragon tamer or an omnidawg).

I think I'll try crafting my own version.  Did a trial last night with the bottom of a can that had a concaved bottom.  Worked pretty well at a lower setting, but I need to create the interior piece to prevent blow-back at higher fuel rates.  This might be reduced somewhat if I added a few more/larger holes ... I as using a 5/64ths drill bit to punch the holes.

This adaptation may also make a dragon fly a bit more wind tolerant.

BTW:  Svea 123 stoves now go for more like half the price you quoted, if you shop around, but they are also built with lesser quality materials than earlier stoves.
