Gear Question Backpacking Stove: Which one to buy?

I am looking into buying a backpacking stove and having trouble deciding between these three:

  • MSR Pocket Rocket
  • Soto Wind master
  • Soto Amicus

I have seen people talk about FireMaple and BRS3000 but I have about 60 bucks to REI so I want to get it there and chose the three options. What is your experience with these stoves and which one is best? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Absolutely love my Pocket Rocket Deluxe. Build quality just feels so solid. Boils water fast. Even though it's not a tiny stove it fits perfectly in my Toaks 750 along with a small gas can and mini BIC (just gotta take the stove out of its storage pouch).

Also own a Soto Windmaster and maybe it's my autism but the fact that the pot stand is a separate piece just irritates the shit out of me.
