Titanium Snow Peak Gigapower

I bought my titanium Gigapower on sale. The regular one at that time cost more, so I spent less to get less weight but more value for my money.

To answer your question differently, why do some people buy a BMW rather than a VW when both will get you from point A to B, and furthermore, the BMW weighs MORE? It's the same reason there are so many shapes and sizes of Heinz ketchup in the store, and then the additional brands with all their sizes too. (Marketing)

To some, the value's there, to others, it ain't.

I know alot about this "value" sort of thing, because my profession is selling diamonds.

Yep, it's a good point Tim. Unfortunately once you start counting ounces it seems that you quickly get to a point where it costs around $20 to save an ounce. I figure that I'd rather cough up and buy something once that I'll keep long term than to save $15 and try and swap it out later. Stoves aren't something that I'm in to, so I buy them very infrequently.

EDIT: And I should add that I normally shop around for a deal, so that I'm getting it 15-20% or more off retail. (Of course, I could do the same with the heavier, cheaper version too!).
