M.T.  I looked at your Brushbuddy and although it looks well made, I decided to try the Littlbug sn. because it packs down so neatly. That's the hard thing, buying from what you can see off the computer screen. In the best of all worlds you could have both at hand and then decide. One of my serious questions was how stable the Littlbug sn would be when you assembled it, the thing locks up well once the little pegs snap into the proper holes. Then placing the stove into a steel cake pan (not included) gives it a real stable base. My stove measures just about 8 1/8 dia. which I'm confident will hold all my pots without the danger of tipping over. I don't think I would want to try to put an aluminum cake pan directly under the stove, I use a steel one. My second upside down one is made of aluminum. My latest separate the two pans plan is to use five 5/15 nuts spaced evenly about. It seems to be working.
