The Snowpeak 700 is actually worth the cost in this application. It is very tough, providing shielding for either the Nalgene or Gatorade water bottle, and is adequate for one or two easily. For a larger group, I tend to go with aluminum, which can be jsut as light, although not as tough.

My Sigg Tourist cookset, a very lightweight thin aluminum set, only lasted me for thirty-five years. My Snowpeak 700 is probably immortal.... I tend to shy away from stainless, except for car camping.
