Kovea MoonWalker vs. MSR WindPro II -- Packability

I'm not quite ready to review either the Kovea MoonWalker or the new MSR WindPro II (look for my WindPro II review in the next couple of weeks), but I thought I'd let people at least have a look at the two stoves and take a quick look at their relative packability.

First the Kovea MoonWalker (also know as the Kovea Camp 4).

Second, the MSR WindPro II.

Next, I thought I'd try putting a Kovea MoonWalker (Camp 4) into a Snow Peak 1000ml pot.  It fits just fine.

Of course the real question is can I also fit a canister of gas in there?  As it turns out, you can.

And how does the MSR WindPro II fit?  Well, it fits too although the MoonWalker was just a bit more compact.

I also tried fitting a 220g canister of gas into the pot -- it didn't work with either stove.

Well, that's it for today.  Like I say, I'm not quite ready to publish reviews just yet, but look for a review of the WindPro II in a few weeks.

Thanks for joining me on another Adventure In Stoving,

Technical Appendix

Weights

MSR WindPro         193g   6.81oz  (not shown in above photos)

Interestingly, the WindPro II as measured on my gram scale at home is just a bit lighter (6g) than the old WindPro.
