I also seen that sale and should have jumped on it. I got the Hakko and still trying to figure it out. I also have a problem with it not getting hot enough for rc work. I have some new tips coming in, so that may fix it. I am used to a 60 watt iron for heavy stuff. The tips are super easy to replace, and the iron is very light. I got mine from TD off eBay, and have nothing but good things to say about their service, awesome!
