MSR are excellent! I've got their 'Whisperlote' backpacking type burner. I would be careful with the stability of the 'Reactor' as all your weight will be in the top with a narrow base.

MSR are awesome. I looked at both that and the Jetboil - bought the jetboil in the end. Either would be great.
I spoke to my local climbing/camping shop (very knowledgeable) and we concluded that, for what I want, the jetboil was perfectly adequate. The MSR was a bit more hardcore but more expensive IIRC. I think it also gives out more fumes from the specific design of their diffuser - which was invented years ago but has taken until now to get the emissions to a safe level. Not an issue if you're using it on the wing of a Defender 
To your title, I bought an Ozpig at the weekend. Genius! I cooked the family's dinner on it yesterday. Love it.  One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

Wich Jetboil model is better to use in our trip to make a hot cup of thee?
I like the PCS, but also the Flash cooking is not bad... With one reservoir how many times I can use it? Matteo Defender 110 Td4 SE MY 09 |

After 5 years of using jet boils I will never move away! I have used it all over the world and it has never let me down
.
My latest toy is a Prior 161 'All Terrain Vehicle' snowboard in custom colour/ design which I can't wait for this winter's season to come along so I can hit the mountains!! All I need to do now is work out what bindings to put on it

Well, my boards are a Burton Clash 158 with Burton custom bindings, then for the past 2 seasons I have been running a Prior AMF 159 with Salomon SPX Pro bindings.
The Burton board is nice but doesn't compare to the hand crafted Prior board... that is why I have bought another- just a bigger one for powder. Again the Burton bindings are geat for cruisingthe mountain but the Salomons are suitale for everything (I do like to hit the parks and rails). My knife of coice is the Gerber LMF 2- it has seen me through both Iraq and Afghanistan amongst some other countries
