Mad_Mat and MasterT -- 

Good perspective on the jet-boil and it's intended purposes. 

Helpful actually, as I am sadly in the market for a new stove.  Three of my four Coleman Exponents are showing their age and are in various states of disrepair (like me).  When I lose confidence that a stove can do the job for a 2-week trip without breaking dow, it's time for something new.  I'll probably go with one of the "whisper-lite" things.
