Sure, the whole cookset (including a couple of paper towels I put in between the pots to stop rubbing) weighs 773g on my kitchen scale (1 lb 11 1/4 oz). The small pot by itself weighs 243g (8 1/2 oz). The larger pot weighs in at 326g (11 3/8 oz) with lid. The frypan is 181g (6 3/8 oz) by itself.

Yes, this has been a tough choice since they seem very similar, don't they? In the end it was something that probably very transient that helped me choose - Optimus recently issued a recall of some of their multifuel stoves that were manufactured during a specific period of time:

This apparently caused the O ring to become chewed up and thus leak fuel, which is never good. Like I said, it's just a temporary thing, but when I was looking around I wasn't able to tell which version of the stove I might be getting if I ordered now (the recall was just issued in September). No doubt this will get resolved in a very short timespan, but in the short term I looked at the Primus Omnifuel, and it can use canister gas without any special adaptor (unlike the Optimus Nova, as far as I can tell), which is kind of cool (though I would probably always use liquid fuel, it's always nice to have the option). The Optimus Nova apparently has an even more "all metal" construction, which might make it even stronger in theory. But I decided to jump for the Omnifuel because trawling the online reviews, it seems that people often give it the slight edge (I saw a comment somewhere that said a German outdoor magazine consistently gave the Primus Omnifuel its "best stove" award). Why would anybody say it was "better" than the Nova? Probably because of the canister gas option, so if you don't care about that then it's probably a wash. I'm sure they are both very similar in terms of quality and heat output, but you gotta make a choice eventually, and so it goes. Very happy with what I am seeing so far (just arrived yesterday, so not had much chance to play beyond firing it up with an MSR canister, worked great out of the box, later today I'll try out the pump with some liquid gas). It boiled a pot extremely quickly, in just a couple of minutes, and it is VERY loud, but no surprise to anybody who's used a Dragonfly. Not the best option for extra double secret stealth camping, perhaps, but whatever. I like the flexibility. If I was going on a longer tour I might just take the Omnifuel, and also the Evernew Ti alcohol burner, since it's so tiny and lightweight, and would add that extra bit of flexibility (alcohol is one fuel that won't work in most of the multifuel stoves, I believe).
