It's time for a new lighter and I'm trying to decide between these two similar looking wind-proof lighters.

Please give me any input you may have.

Some friends have had problems with Colibri lighters. Seems quality is question as of late.

I have both and like them both. The Saturn II has a softer flame, which I really like. It is also windproof. The Trifecta is very impressive. The three jets create quite a flame, but it is not completely windproof. Both of mine have worked great, but I have friends who have had problems with both models. Prometheus has much better customer service if you do have problems.

Bottom line is you'll be happy with either one.

Colibris SUCK. Great marketing, piece of crap. The Prometheus won't let you down.

Fortunately, it's only $250. What a deal!
