It means that a whispterlight is very heavy compared to the
alternatives you mentioned. Though I use that stove for winter
camping, I could not imagine lugging it around on a PCT through hike.

All IMHO, YMMV. HYOH

Wouldn't want to get a different stove for my PCT hike, but I've noticed most people break the stove options into alcohol stove, canister stoves, or stoveless, so I"m wondering if this means that white gas will be hard to come by at resupplies.
