Hey Everyone - I appreciate your comments about the weight of this cookset. As a whole, it is not ultralight, and I'm happy you all agree. That means we've got the right people in our community! That being said, I suggest you look at this cookset as a package deal that allows you great versatility for GROUP cooking.
Group cooking - This does not compare with a solo alcohol stove or a jetboil. The smaller of the two pots is good for 3 people, and the bigger pot will work for 4-6 people. There aren't a lot of options for pots this big, let alone cookset (when comparing to the plethora of pots/sets in the 0.5-1.1 liter range).
Cookset - You do not have to bring everything in this cookset on every trip. Take just the small pot, lid, stove, stand, and screen, and you have a 21 ounce setup that is efficient and easy to use. Going with a bigger group? Then take the bigger pot. Cooking complicated meals? Then take both pots but don't kid yourself that you're going ultralight.
The stove is basically the Trangia Mini Spirit Burner, which is one of Hiram's favorite alcohol stoves.

Finally, the pots don't have to be used with the stove set up. See the photo below of the 1.5L pot on top of my Kovea Supalite Stove with a small gas canister. This could be a nice lightweight setup for a group and it weighs 17 ounces (with a tinfoil lid, not shown).
Again, this is not the lightest stove and cookset and I'm not trying to sell you on it. I'm merely trying to provide an insight on why some people would want this. Thanks for all of your input, as that is what helps make this community great. We'll keep striving for lighter and lighter gear! @Jayceh @shaggymatt @MichiganUL @Fruitbat @koruption
