Too late since you bought one. However I will say the thing I like about canister stoves these days is simplicity. During a ride when I 'hole up' during rainstorms I have no problem firing up my Jetboil PCS. I grab 1 item and everything is there, everything!. Quickly assemble and fire it up. I also own a whisperlite, while an excellent stove requires more fiddling. In short the Jetboil is my main stove but if I were going cross country I might take the whisperlite instead.

PS: I think you will only need 1 canister for a 2 week trip. Everyone seems to worry about not finding a canister when they run out. They are so lite, just carry 2 and when one empties you have weeks to find another. That's what I do. Enjoy your new stove looks like a nice one.
