It is also possible to mount a Primus Omnifuel stove burner in a Trangia.

I have two Trangia sets, a 25 and a 27. Both are plain aluminum, so I can't specifically address Trangia's particular non-stick coating.

I can make the following very general comments:
For cooking real food, especially the fry pan, it is nice to have a non stick coating. Non stick coatings tend to be less durable than hard anodization. A good non-stick coating holds up reasonably well so long as you don't use metal utensils. You also want to have something in he pot or pan (don't heat the pot or pan empty in other words).

Hard anodization puts a very hard coating on aluminum. Hard anodization makes things more durable, but it's not quite the same as a non-stick coating. Hard anodization is far more durable than any non-stick coating I've ever seen, although there are a lot of newer non-stick coatings that are really an improvement over what was available, say, 10 years ago.

Primus makes the X2 for Trangia, although I heard it was a lower BTU output due to the face the regular Primus burners has a tendency to melt the windscreen of the Trangia sets.

So Jim, in essence a nonstick coating on top of hard anodizing would be the way to go, which is why I am persistently pursuing the avenue I am.

The Omnifuel is offered with a maximum output of 3000 Watt. The X2 has a maximum output of 2800 Watt. That doesn�t look like a huge difference to me. I don�t know how it is possible to melt the windscreen if the burner is properly mounted. I bought the Omnifuel because the X2 wasn�t available back then in Germany. Additionally X2 and Omnifuel have the same price tag but with the Omnifuel I get an entire stove and not just a burner.

Yeah, that would be a really nice set up. You would basically want a Trangia 27-5 HA (no kettle) or 27-6 HA (with the kettle).

Doggone if you aren't right, though. There's nobody selling it that I can find. Not even eBay. Weird. Maybe it's so high end that there aren't many of them?

Have you tried contacting Liberty Mountain and seeing if you can special order it? I see that they do carry a lot of Trangia models.

If not, maybe you could order direct from Trangia is Sweden? If they won't sell direct, perhaps they can tell you how to get one.

The 25-5 HA is exactly the set I want, I would add the GSI kettle to it.

I have cousins in Sweden, seeing if they can get me one.

There you go. Good idea.

Looks like a really sweet set up. Love to see some pics of it in use if you get some...
