we have a le creuset at home but apart from it's looks don't see the point of even having that at home. Oh and by the way it  doesn't pour very well, not sure if the one with the integrated whistle is any better or whether like ours you need to let it off the boil before trying to pick it up.

A thick kettle that retains it's heat is only really any use on an aga where you leave it permenantly on the simmer ring then just switch it to the hot ring when you want to boil it quickly.

We use a vango stainless steel for camping and if the appearance is important it has a decent retro look to it and boils water looks like it comes in black too http://www.outdoorkit.co.uk/product.php?product_id=8633&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=froogle&gclid=CJu93Panj7kCFYPHtAodiwIAvw

Just got mine out we actually have the 2litre, didn't realise there were two sizes.

Matt, you say your last forever policy, we have had the vango for about 5 years and it still looks brand new, gets used for an average of 4 weeks a year I would think, the handle, whistle etc is top quality, very nearly as good as the le creuset.

Love a description I found on a powerex, one of the notable features was "non-porous"

To be honest the powerex looks abit flimsy when compared to the other vango
