I have made/bought a handful of alcohol stoves; the best I've used is the RUCAS - probably not as light as the 8g but it's been tough enough to survive many hiking/cyclotouring trips in New Zealand (quite a few dents by now, but still functioning perfectly), and it boils much more quickly than any of my handmade stoves or my old Trangia. The only drawback is that it also functions as the potstand, which means it can be a little unstable if there is no hard level surface to place it on (or if it's very windy).
