Lightweight

Typically, I prefer a round bottle set, but after obtaining a new pack that required to me to make changes to my kit and how I carry it, I bought this canteen set. I have not used the set yet, but have made the following observations. The handles on the cup swing far to freely in my opinion which will make it difficult to manage heating and cooking in the cup around a campfire. Probably less of a concern or issue on stove? The cup when it nests on the bottle of the canteen seems quite loose and rattles a bit on my set. If the set was 30 or 40 dollars I guess I'd expect things like this, but at a 158 dollars? I realize much of the cost is driven by the material used to make it and I can't complain about how lightweight the set is, but I suspect I'll be selling this set off to someone at a discount and finding another solution to carry my round bottle set with my new bag. I don't hate it and I don't love it. First bit of kit I've owned that I've been this ambivalent about. I'll admit, it's probably a piece of kit that the opinion of it is dependent on the needs of the user. If I were a through hiker on the AT or PCT and counting grams I'd probably have a different opinion.
