Lightweight pressure cooker?

Pressure Cookers

In the past, I have camped at altitudes that did not allow me to cook dry beans. Some days, canned chili "again" is a bit much and it would be nice to cook dry beans in a reasonable timeframe. An hour is fine, 3 hours or more is not!

For small lightweight pressure cookers, ~3L capacity, my only options seem to be India. What I'm worried about is replacing seals or other parts and whether they are reasonable quality and easy to use. I also want one that supports the "higher" pressure and a lot of them seem to be lower PSI.

What is a good mid-range option for me?
