Yeah, if you hold the two stoves (PocketRocket, MicroRocket) in your hand, the build quailty and the "beefiness factor" is like night and day. The MicroRocket is a really nice stove. I know a lot of people really like the PocketRocket, but the PR was never one of my go to gas stoves.

For a while I really liked my Crux, and it's still a good stove, but when I got my Snow Peak Giga Power which has excellent pot stability, I found myself using my Crux a lot less.

Now, will my MicroRocket replace my GigaPower as my "go to" gassie? Hard to say, but those two are my top choices for stoves in this class. The MR is a little lighter and a little more compact. The GigaPower has better pot stability, and the flame is a little more dispersed so you don't get quite the hot spot. I guess I'd take either one depending on the type of trip. My PocketRocket probably won't see much use now that I've got a MicroRocket, and probably neither will my Crux.
