All kidding aside, this is a factor. They are not hard to find, but you do need to find them. Nothing is perfect, and I have been very happy with the superfly for how I use it. Of course, I only have to drive to he Sierra, I don't need to fly to Kathmandu. YMMV.

2. Yes, you need a match. I'm fine with that, esp. since your igniter can break/melt, and mine can start at altitude in cold weather, and yours can't. 3. It is heavier. |

This is a great thread. Can we argue down vs. synthetic mummy bags next? After that we can argue about water filters.

You sure are sensitive. 1. It is too messier. You have to fill it, empty it and keep it clean. You don't need to do any of this wiht SF. Yours may not be difficult, but with SF it is not even necessary. Plus, draining the hose is partof theprocess of using youre cannister and it is messier. A few drops of butane gives you a pleasing aroma all day. 2. The SF also starts with a match any time you need it to. But for those times you are below 12k feet and the temp is above 30 degrees or so, the one button start is very convenient and cool. 3. Is it heavier? Including all the equipment such as the hose and the oh-so-important windscreen? Perhaps, but I find it hard to believe, although i haven't looked at that to be honest.
