I spent last year with the MSR windboiler.
Aside from the $130 price tag, it's the best canister stove I've owned. It really shines when the winds kick up, to be honest. I swear the integrated wind screen on this thing protects it perfectly.
I know cold weather adversely effects pressure in isobutane canisters, and that some brands may be better than others, but I cooked in late October where water in the pot was half frozen in the morning....took a few minutes to bring a boil with msr canisters.
