Excellent review, beorn.
I have a similar setup. The compact butane burner is a different brand on the label, but I suspect they might have been made in the same factory. Packaging looked about like I remember.
My MSR is the multifuel Dragonfly. Coleman fuel, white gas, gasoline, diesel, naptha, and I think a couple more. Though not any of the gaseous fuels. I have had it a long time and it has been a real workhorse, especially in winter camping and at higher altitudes. It does need to be maintained, but that is not difficult or expensive. The only real problem is that the bottle pumps can be a bit fragile. I keep a spare with me when I take the Dragonfly on a trip.
I mostly use the compact butane stove now, unless I will be in deep cold or high altitudes. Partly because I can have a couple of canister of fuel, the stove, stainless steel eating utensils, stainless steel cup, plate, and bowl set, some teabags, multiple seasonings container, boullion cubes, and a couple of other small items, all in an MTM .50-caliber ammunition can.
Just my opinion.
Jerry
