Regulated vs Unregulated Stoves?

[cornfedkiller]

Tried searching but it doesn't seem that its been discussed here. The UL cook stove thread got me wondering - Is your stove regulated or unregulated?

My research tells me that a regulated stove supposedly burns more efficiently - has anyone noticed a real world difference between the two?

I'm looking at ordering a new stove and wondering if I should go with a regulated one, or if it's unnecessary.

If I were in the market for a new stove I probably would buy a regulated one just because, but unless you do a lot of stove cooking in temps below 40degrees the difference between unregulated and regulated will be difficult to determine unless you had the exact same conditions every time you used the stove.
