I wasn't impressed with the construction of the Seychelle--it seemed to allow water to bypass the filter element, but this was just an impression. One unit also had a broken internal nipple that definitely would bypass the filter. It would probably work perfectly fine in the Sierra, however :-)
I've been recently using the UV AquaStar. The main downside is it doesn't work in colder water--and not ice-floating-in-the-lake cold, just pre-July-4th runoff cold. Then again, most chemical methods probably don't really "work" in similarly cold water, either, but you don't get a red flashing light telling you to let the Aqua Mira (or Miox brew, or iodine, or whatever) do its thing for 4x as much time. Not counting the bottle, it's similar in weight to the new SteriPen. A lighter bottle (soft-sided Nalgene cantene) than the one included could be used, but you'd need something to protect the AquaStar.
