I love my Origo. To migitate the sharp corners, I keep it in a plastic dishpan. There is enough room around it for the potholder a butane lighter.

I don't keep my propane cylinders in the cabin for the very reason you cited. The risk of a leaking valve is very real (just had a leaking one the other day) so when I'm not using them, they go in the wet locker on my 17 with a low vent to the atmosphere through the transom. If I had a 15 I'd probably make the switch. The only thing I've seen about the Origo that I didn't particularly care for were the rather sharp edges on it, but that's pretty minor. The burn time you list for a quart of fuel is very comparable to what I get with a 1# propane bottle.
