I have an Optimus Nova multi-fuel stove. As far as liquid fuel stoves go it's performance, build quality, and toughness is outstanding. These days I almost never use it since I aquired a Kovea titanium gas stove and in terms of size, ease of use, safety, and weight, it wins on all counts. My only gripes with the Kovea are the burner sits on top of the gas cartridge so you have to be careful not to knock it over during cooking, plus you can't use a windshield. From what I can see of the Stella both those problems are eliminated, albeit at the expense of a bit of extra weight. Also, if the quality of the Stella is anything like the Nova, then I think it's a safe bet to go out and buy it. ~Dave
