$200 stoves are legit if you're counting grams on a thru-hike, not every tool is for car camping.

$200 is overkill" idk man, you gotta remember the BRS-3000T is like $20 and weighs under an ounce. The expensive stuff is more about grams shaved off over ounces. A $200 stove is definitely not for everyone but it fills a real niche for ultralight folks who count every gram. Like, if you're carrying your whole life on your back for months, shaving 50 grams off your stove setup adds up quick. Not saying I'd spend that much but I get why some people do lol.
