I've got the Honey Stove and must say it's pretty good design and works very well in windy conditions and as a bonus, you can use the Trangia Gas Converter, which is made by Primus. It's a very powerful burner, so need to be careful not to have it too high. I find the meths is a bit slow burning for my needs.

The Honey Stove weighs 300gm and measures 5½" x 5½" and stores flat which will go into a army mess-tin no bother, the total weight inc. gas burner is 800gm. But if you use the Honey Stove with the 2 Trangia pans, pan holder and the meths burner inc, the meths. That weight is 700gm and you can't store the Honey Stove flat into the Trangia pans, so the army mess tins would be the best option for this solution.
You can minimize the Honey Stove for basic cooking to only 4 sides and using the Trangia burner unit, but you can't use the gas converter.
I have the Trangia 27UL c/w the kettle, lovely cooking system, but like richnfamous says, lugging around tends to be a pain, due to being bulky. But hey, again a superb cooking system that never failed.
