I travel with either a Simmerlite or a DragonFly as my primary stove.  My back-up stove is a Peak 1 ... generally the "all-in-one" rather than the component equivalent.  The Coleman stoves are generally superior to other stoves for simmering.  They just tend to be a bit more bulky.

As I recall, the Snow Peak Giga has a roarer-type burner like the DragonFly ... at least that's the configuration of my white-gas version.  Good burner, but typically a bit noisy.

The snow peak white gas (not to be confused with the giga which is a iso-butane stove) has a "whisperlite" style generator so it is not as loud as the dragonfly, a little more complicated as it has one more knob...and the base is not as big as the dragon fly... Both the dragon fly and the snowpeak white gas are fabulous simmers and more packable the the coleman stoves....I have run them all....the dragonfly has way more hours on it in my book but i have high hopes for the snowpeak product due to its quietness...
