Just a thought, are you going EHU? The Eurohike mains kit is currently £25 in Millets You could then use an electric hob, like these.
It really does depend on what kind of camping you're going to be doing and where you'll be doing the cooking. An advantage of being on EHU means you'll never need to buy gas and can use it for other things as well (small slow cooker is a useful oven), as well as for cooking. The disadvantage is that it must be kept dry at all times so if you have a small backpacking tent it's maybe not so useful.
The suitcase stove is useful because it can be used anywhere and doesn't take up much space. EHU cooking is good if you can be sure you'll have access to a hookup, and don't need to make hot meals or drinks en-route.

Thanks for all the tips on the quick release couplr, folks. Much appreciated.
Just so I have this right, this first one wouldn't suit, as the bit on the right would need to be connected direct to the regulator, and there's then the issue of correct sizes and threads etc...
Wrong type?...
I presume this... is what I'm looking for, assuming the 8mm is suitable for the common orange gas hose we all seem to have?
Presumably 2 of those... one half to the main hose from the stove, one half on a short section of hose to the Butane regulator, and similar to the Propane regulator, leaving one half as "spare"?
Shame they don't seem to do the latter at G.O, as I'm passing in an hour, but presuming I'm on the right lines, is the one in the second link correct?
Thanks again. Great help, as always.  
EDIT:
Oh, and some extra Jubilee clips of course, which I think I may have in the shed! 
EDIT again...
Better Still... a pack of two for under a tenner, free delivery.
Please tell me it's the right thing, and that I have found myself a bargain into the bargain!!

coupler
nozzle
That is what I have. The female side has the shut off valve so gets connected to the regulator side with a jubilee.
Same brand as your eBay find, mucker
I should explain that if you are swapping between two appliances you will need the extra nozzle. If you are swapping between a butane and a propane regulator you won't need the nozzles. You will need a two pack of couplers.

Thanks Lidd. We are debating it, while we are going away i still have some PhD writing to be getting on with so access to power is quite important.
I like the idea of the electric stove but i think you won me over with the suitcase stoves...plus i prefer a gas cooker ha! How else can i toast my marshmallows!
I did also find a 15% code for millets - NEWSU if its any use to you :-)
There are also these types that use screw on or camping gaz canisters

The primus is good but expensive (I have one) but aldi had a copy last year and Yellowstone do a copy on Amazon. Both around the £20 mark and better than suitcase stoves imo.

. We've never timed them, sorry! Let's just say they're reasonable (if they were expensive to use, we wouldn't have them!).
