Jerry,
Your experience points out one of the biggest pluses of the Xtreme: no priming. In foul weather when you're all buttoned up in your tent and you need to cook inside, the Xtreme is a great stove choice. There is no priming and no flare ups. With an XGK, which is a great stove don't get me wrong, flare ups happen. Even the most experienced will occasionally have a flare up during priming. Priming with alcohol goes a long way to eliminate flare ups, but look for a post on that about +3 SOTW posts out.
In my "mini-series" (within the larger SOTW series), I'm going to talk about the following light weight winter capable stoves:
Coleman Xtreme (for 1/22/2011)
MSR Simmerlite (for 1/29/2011)
MSR Wind Pro (for 2/5/2011)
Borde stove (for 2/12/2011)
Of those four, the Xtreme would be my first choice for cooking inside a tent. It requires no priming, is the least likely to flare up, and has a good temperature range (putatively to -10F/-23C although I've never taken it that low).
There are some new ones available on eBay right now. I'm tempted, but I already have a couple. Note that I am not selling any Xtreme stoves on eBay; this is not a hidden sales pitch. No affiliation.
