I have two Svea 123's and an R-8. Most reliable stoves ever. Bought the R-8 at a yard sale for $5! I still use them all but IF I haul a stove at all in my pack, it will be an Optimus Nova or Esbit....or better yet, super tiny cook fires using twigs. For car camping, I'm likely to have stoves all over the place heating various stuff.
