Thanks for the info, Scott.

I pretty much had my eye on the brushed aluminum ones simply for durability. My Dad has the glass fount Genie III, like yourself and you brought up a very good point about seeing the fuel level...may have to re-think my strategy.

Do you have any experience with the light boosters?

I know the Aladdin we used the other day was SO INCREDIBLY BRIGHT that you could not look directly at the mantle. I did see a video on youtube with one using a shade. Do you utilize a shade on any of your units?

Also, do you have the ones with the pedestal based (the table model) or the one without (the shelf model)?
