I think all current englanders are non-cat, as are most stoves on the market. Cat offers better performance at lower outputs and longer burns (in general).....non-cats heat up faster, and may require less parts and service over the years.
Check out those articles and also use the sitesearch to flush out some other forum threads on the subject....

The new Englanders are non cat. They use to make a cat stove years ago.
As far as cat vs non cat, I don't want to start another war, but from my experience the cat stove has a longer slower burn, a more even heat output, and a little better efficiency.
The non cat stove has a livelier show in the firebox, quicker to heat up, and a little less maintenance.
