if a stove budget of £60 is acceptable, also cast an eye at the Whisperlite. I had one and it never let me down, also only about 450 gr (exclusing fuel). Packs down small, too.

I've had a Whisperlite since the early 90's, still use it regularly and have had very little trouble with it. The stove bit packs down to next to nothing but gets you covered in soot doing it. The fuel bottle doesn't pack down unless you stand on it!
Used with Coleman fuel it never clogs although with unleaded it does need cleaning now and again. Priming it to get it going first thing in the morning is probably the biggest hassle. It's ok when you're awake but first thing in the morning when you're still half asleep you're likely to take your eyebrows off with it.
