So the blackburn weighed 25 ounces less, has unlimited fillings and cost the same so can't justify going the co2 route. It did save me 71 grams over my previous pump

Thanks for all the input.
I carry that as a back up to 2 CO2 cartridges. IMO if your going to only bring a pump, bring a full size pump. The extra effort required carrying a full size pump compared to a mini pump is far less than the effort required if you have to use them.
