The Jetboil is good, but it is a more limited purpose item.
It is as heavy as the MSRs, and requires a proprietary cartridge which you may not find in East BF. It is designed for the recreational campers with access to modern supply systems. The ones that burn gas or kerosene have an advantage.
You can boil 500ml of water with it about 25% faster than with a conventional stove. If you want to cook in anything but the provided container with the heat exchanger, or boil more water than that, a conventional stove will be much better.
It is quieter than the conventional stoves as well.
Just my .02.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
