I guess I'm the exception, but I like the coleman feather 442.  I carry two of them.  They're reliable and quiet. I love the quiet.  Some of the whisperlites, etc, sound like a jet engine revving up, IMO.  

Good point.  The feather 442 is actually the more recent manifestation of the Peak 1 (which I believe is out of production).  

If you are still interested in a multi-fuel model, the 442 also comes in a Dual-Fuel model (white and auto gas).

All of these models use the later configuration of the Peak 1 (Model 400B), including single level control.  (The original Peak--Model 400A--had 2 levers ... one for fuel flow and one for air mixture.)  Later production in this series are labeled Peak 1 Feather 400.

BTW:  Only the MSR DragonFly and XGK models use the "jet engine" burner. (I'm omitting the FireFly model, since it went out of production about 30 years ago.)
