Here's my dilemma: I recently purchased an Outback Oven and I have been using it with my Brasslite Turbo II-D or my Trangia alcohol stoves. The Outback Oven requires a very low flame and it is very hard to control my cooking temps with an alcohol stove.
You can't use the Snow Peak because using with the Outback Oven can cause the fuel canister to overheat and possibly blow up. Not good.
I have a Snow Peak Giga Power w/ electric piezo. It has not seen much use and is in good shape. Includes plastic carrying case. I would like to trade it for a stove along the lines of the MSR Simmerlite, Dragonfly (preferred), or Whisperlite. Basically I need a stove where the fuel tank does not sit directly under the burner. I also need something that is capable of producing a very low, stable, and easily adjustable flame.
If you have something I may interested in you can email me ( headchangestudio (at) gmail (dot) com ) or send me a PM.

i don't have a stove to trade, but i do have one of these ...

it's a little bulky, but it's very stable and it does simmer pretty well when you use a decent windscreen. i also use a piece of h.s. foil underneath.
the only thing i would change on this model is the length of the fuel line. if it were longer, it would be easier to set up with the windscreen. oh well.
7.8 ounces. it's no brasslite ;) but it's not awful, for what it is.
(p.s. there are three models all called gravity. this is the cheap one.)

I talked with The Solemate about trading for one of his stoves. I am still up in the air on what I am going to do. I have to rebuild my funds after the holidays before I can do anything.
I had also been looking at the Coleman Peak Apex (http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemancom/detail.asp?product_id=3021-722&categoryid=19020) liquid fuel stove stove as an option. It lists for about $60 and comes with a fuel bottle. It would not be my primary stove.
I don't know how well they perform so I would like to get some opinions. It needs a good low level flame for what I am using it for.

I recommend that stove for newbies who want to try backpacking, but do not want to commit a lot of funds to gear. It is a solid stove and will serve you for many years - I gave mine to a friend after about 10 years of use and I think he still uses it. It is, however, a heavy option and its weight is why it was cut from my pack.
I have a Coleman Xtreme PowerMax with several fuel canisters I'd be willing to trade...
