Lopi is a good brand, they make nice stoves and apparently charge a lot for them. I have owned a couple of Lopis with the latest being a freedom bay insert. They are about as good as any otehr steel stove but have a little fancier detail. I would consider a properly sized Lopi to be a good stove, if you're into plate steel. There are lots of plate steel options that are cheaper and perform simlarly. The BK is kind of a unique stove both in looks and in function. They are one of only two commonly available cat brands so there is a bit of a cult following.
