After making that post on Saturday, I impulse bought the stainless steel nalgene off amazon and, to my surprise, it came the very next day-- Sunday morning.
Had a few days to use it instead of my old orange Nalgene, and already a big fan.
Pros:
* Really solid material. It's well made, not worried about a drop resulting in a dent or anything. Every other metal waterbottle I've ever had ends up very dented in just a few days, not going to be the case here.
* Water tastes like water again. Hard to describe it because water is so tasteless, but it's definitely got a different taste than my old nalgene and it tastes more like water out of a glass than before.
Cons:
* The strap for the cap loosens up pretty easily. I worry that it'll fall off in time. Not a big deal.
* It's heavier than my old bottle. No big deal.
I'd buy it again.
