MSR WindBurner ISOPRO Backpacking Stove (2018) vs Soto Windmaster

That's high praise from reliable sources.

Moving on to the Soto Windmaster: no sources that perform reliable and objective hands-on testing have included it in their Backpacking Camping Stove roundups, which usually means that a product doesn't make for a good purchase.
