Like Kevin, I too have been an MSR proponet. I have the Whisperlite, Dragonfly and Pocket Rocket. However, I purchased the Optimus Nova last year, and have been finding myself reaching for that stove more often when out on trips. It will burn everything, even butane canisters, and does not need a different jet to do so. Simmers just as well as the Dragonfly, and much quieter! Downside: more spendy to buy one.
