I use a SS cup that has provided years of usefulness and will probably last for the rest of my hiking days. I am not a weight weenie when it comes to gear so I don't worry about the pros and cons of TI vs SS weights.



I would think that warping is not a problem if your cooking technique is basically boiling water. My SP 700 seems to handle that process just fine. Just don't let it run dry....

I am a weight weenie. While the law of diminishing returns does apply to the process of lightening your pack, years of mountain SAR taught me that searching out lightweight, functional (key word) gear was well worth the effort. Lighter equipment may or may not be more expensive.
