Don't you mean "Stirring the billy"?
Sorry. My humour.
We have stainless steel. One 1 litre billy, and one 1 litre pot.
The billy has a loop handle over it, mainly use to boil water, and to immerse bags of prepared "wet" food when we need to immerse them in boiling water to heat.
Also the billy is good to keep the MSR Simmerlite in. The whole thing packs in, and keeps it all together and secure. We hold the lid on with a rubber band.
The pot is wider and shallower. It has a handle that folds out, and packs up as has a lid, the handle goes over the lid and a clip on the other side grabs the handle and keeps it tight. Good for transporting fragile things in. Mainly used for bags of milk powder, sustagen, whatever we can fit in it.
Yeah they're probably too heavy - must investigate titanium equivalent.
Interestingly, I did a test to see which boils water quicker. I expected the wider base would catch more heat. But it was a "dead heat" (pun alert). Both took the same amount of time to boil 500ml water.
