This is a great stove. I originally gave it a 4 because of it's weight (a little heavy), but a few more uses have convinced me that the extra few ounces definitely earn their way in performance.
The Clikstand stove base is extremely good - head and shoulders above anything else I've seen. It assembles quickly, has an above-average pot support that really keeps the pot from skidding around, and may well be the best windscreen out there. Water seems to boil a little quicker than with other alcohol stoves, too. The whole thing (plus matches, an Evernew titanium spoon, and a cleaning cloth) stores neatly in the Evernew Titanium .9L pot with which it was designed to work. A well-crafted, elegantly functional piece of gear.
Now, if it were just made of titanium, I'd gulp hard a couple of times and lay out what would probably be a king's ransom for the thing, and I'd buy my wife something really nice, as a preemptive measure.
