I've got the BRS, and I like it, but I really have nothing to compare it to, since it's my first and only canister stove. I will say I have a hard time judging which setting to put it on. With the valve all the way open, it's LOUD, but that's probably not very efficient. I'd only used alcohol stoves before, and I definitely prefer the convenience of the BRS.
