HJ,
He turned 30 this year!

I am not worried about the various fuel options. I consider the 30 to 50 dollar difference insignificant if I get the better product (plus I am a SERIOUS shopper who will wait till I get a deal). I won't spend more to get the same thing, but over the life of a stove like this it is not much.
Thanks for the advice, I guess I may start looking for a Primus.
Respectfully,
Jerry
