I have this set.. one of the best pieces of equipment I have, when you talk about weight, yeah sure you could have a plastic water bottle but youve got no secondary use for it.. I think its reasuringly well made.. I love mine.. you can even fit the vango folding stove under the pot support.. or use the pot support/stand in a fire to raise it up/protect any item you are boiling(boil in the bag packs etc)...
Where did you get yours from I like the look of your lid and hanger..
