Marc,

Personally I like the Primus PacLite stove for its very high efficiency. If I were in the market for a new stove and cookset combo that's the one I'd choose. I'm a fan of the pot-bottom heat exchanger idea which is almost identical to the JeBoil "Flux Ring". I use the JB 1.5 L. pot with all my stoves.

BUT, that said, I would carry only the stove, pot & lid, windscreen, fuel canister and a Cool Whip bowl. Everything else in the set I'd leave at home.
