"It was between this and the MSR set and the thing that settled it was the double use of the fry-pan-lids. The MSR has it but only one fry-pan-lid but the GSI set has two. Also the Diamondback gripper can stay on the pot, you don't have to take it on and off everytime you look into the pot which is huge when its freezing out.
The only con would be that it needs one more handle but I understand only including one. Also the chincy bag is kind of sad but if I had it to do all over again I'd buy this set again.
(Also the handle hooks onto the outside of your pots so it doesn't scratch up the rim of the pot.)"
