30 years ago I would have told you to go for it. Mine was top of the line at that time. Too many advancements have been made since then.
My advice is to go ahead and post it on ebay the day you get for about 1/3 of what you shelled out for it. Someone mentioned/joked (not sure) about Trangia- but I find them quite pleasing and use one year round - although it does perform better in the coldest, nastiest weather.
