The diameter may not be critical, unless you specifically want it to nicely hold a standard 1L Nalgene water bottle, which is a space-efficient solution to the question of "what are you going to cook or boil water in?" which has been the subject of at least one previous thread. I like my REI TI cookset (cup and pot), which goes with me on every hike, because I'm going to carry a Nalgene water bottle with me anyway, and the additional volume/weight is negligible.
GSI makes a similar-diameter version in stainless (just the pot) for a lot less:
GSI Outdoors Glacier Stainless Cup/PotThat's what I'd get for occasional use...
