It is heavy compared to many stoves. What you get is a very large, very stable cooking surface. This would be a good stove for those using large pots, say for groups or for melting snow (where you need a lot of volume). It would also be good for large pans, perhaps even a griddle.
I would see this as a stove for groups, for base camps, or perhaps for trailhead camping where you want a stove that is compatible with the same fuel you'll use on your trip, but you want to have a nice gourmet (or at least better than backpacking food) kind of meal. Use the uber small UL stove for the trail and this for your last "real" meal (until you get back).
Also to be noted is that this is capable of handling an inverted canister, i.e. with the gas canister upside down with the fuel going down the fuel line as a liquid. Operating with the canister inverted gives one a (all else being equal) 20 degree cold weather advantage over "upright" type canister stoves.
