Check out Brunton's site for the Flex burner.
Larger burner ring for more even heating
Larger pot supports (but compactly folding W/ double hinges)
Burner ring folds 90 Deg. (Nice!)
Weighs only 0.7 oz. more than my Vargo Jet-Ti burner, which is among the very lightest canister burners.

Was the Crux burner out long before the Brunton Flex burner? Just curious. Thanks for the info.

Subject to correction:
I think at one stage Brunton entered into a marketing agreement with Optimus which resulted in Brunton rebadging some existing Optimus stoves under the Brunton brand. But the deal fell apart after a couple of years. The Flex comes from that era.Cheers
