I don't know how the Light My Fire model compares against the BSA model. I have a few BSA models (bought three - two to put in Altoids PSKs and one to practice with). I would consider them emergency backup only. They work, but are nowhere near as good a larger firesteel. I have the Swedish Army model and a Blast Match and both of those put the smaller models to shame. But it depends on what you are looking for. A fine toothed hacksaw blade will improve performance, but those really eat up the firesteels much quicker than other strikers. Especially with the smaller models, buy at least two - one for your kit and one to practice with. I remember the BSA models being cheaper than the $7.95 your URLs show ($4.95 or $5.95 possibly), but then I had to drive 25 miles round trip to get the the Boy Scout store and with the price of gas, you may be better off with an online order (depends on shipping charges).
