I collect old stoves, some predate 1911 and they all work, but for solo use the only stove I would consider taking is a Trangia (not a Swedish Army POS) due to the 100% reliability of the stove and the fact that you have a complete system, windshield, pots, frying pan and if wanted a kettle.
Take into account the setup times of a Trangia V MSR and start to hot brew has little difference. Bear in mind that you really do need separate windshields for the MSR/NOVA/Omnifuel (I have them all) and that none is needed for the Trangia and the fact the Trangia laughs at high wind.
Mount a Nova/Omnifuel/111T burner in a Trangia and you have THE best winter stove combination every designed, its what I use on winter camps  |

Yes, that's what I like about the Trangia 27, is the built-in windshield. The kettle is a handy thing to have too, although I still prefer the gas converter.
I got a Hi-Gear Blaze Titanium stove, only got it for my planned Coast to Coast in September for it's lightness. However, I'm using it in par with the MSR Titan kettle. I also have the MSR Titanium cup, but I got a stainless Steel cup from Asda in the 25% off sale and I can now fit the stove inside the cup and the cup fits inside the kettle, weighs 290gm in total, very pleased |

Not as good at simmering obviously as a Nova or Omnifuel never the less they represent good value for money and are a perfect introduction to remote canister stoves. |

Did you also get an adaptor to enable the cheaper A4 butane+propane canisters to be used, as well as the C250?
