"I am currently using an MSR SuperFly and I like it because if I run out of canisters and I am somewhere that the canisters aren't available, I can still hook up a butane bottle from any gas station. I just don't want to be left without fuel during my trip, which is the only reason I am considering a liquid fuel stove. No fuel = inoperable stove = dead weight."

This is why long distance hikers typically use alcohol stoves --- the fuel is more readily available. Yellow HEET in gas stations (gasline antifreeze) or denatured alcohol in hardware stores. Or if nothing else (tends to be taxed to be more expensive), Everclear.

I do have a Trangia and a popcan stove. I never found myself using them too often for some reason. I tend to gravitate to my SuperFly more often than not. I may just bite the bullet and get a multi-fuel.
Also, I am really leaning toward a NEMO Obi Elite 1P tent, the NEMO Siren 30 quilt, and an ExPed SynMat 7 UL for a shelter/sleep system. Anybody think any of this is a bad idea for 3-season backpacking? All together they weigh 4 lbs and 9 oz or something. That's pretty light for some decent luxury in my opinion.

For long term backpacking surely it'll work as for me I carry on comfy stove that would not give me a hassle and some ready to use stuffs ideal for that 3 season.
