Plus the stability makes it worth it for me... Cooking is a big part of my touring and I've used every single bloody stove made(or just about)... The path always leads me back to my trusted Dragonfly. Short tours I will use just about anything but for longer ones.... I want a real stove that I can simmer with, that will burn just about any fuel and the Dragonfly does all those things.

Is it heavy? Sure, it's almost as heavy as my MSR XGK. XGK works great for boiling snow but not so great for cooking when compared to the Dragonfly.
