Long story short I used to have a brunton nova till the burner snapped.
Great stove only issue is its very difficult to make is simmer or requires a great deal of work. Other down fall is the plastic pump but if you handle it with care it works fine. Obviously msr went this route for weight savings.
Positives:
-lightweight
-packs well
-simple design
-huge BTU output
Negatives:
-very difficult to simmer
-noise level but less then some other stoves (dragonfly)
-pump is plastic
-can't flip fuel bottle (easily) to burn fuel in line
71.96 free shipping is what I paid, US Funds
74.99 is the lowest price I can find now
