Total choice paralysis when it comes to getting a soldering station. "Weller FTW", "Metcal or bust" isn't helpful, btw :-P

@boldport Personally, I have WES51s (somehow I have accumulated 3, but 1 would do) -
@boldport however, having used many Weller models, would prefer a Metcal station (one day) -
@boldport if you're soldering enough to have a sense of feel for solder temperature, instantly getting there with a Metcal is great -
@boldport non-independent selection of tip shape & temperature might be tedious but I am usually one temp/tip setting for most things anyway -
@boldport also the RF engineering/efficiency of a Metcal appeals to me (and makes my poor resistive-element Weller seem so rudimentary)
