I've had a Weller WE1010 in my wishlist for ages. I should just break down and buy it and a new set of tips soon. I use the Wellers at work and they're fantastic.
Won't hurt to give your 40W a shot. I will say, the iron tip makes a huge difference as billdelong has mentioned. If you don't have multiple tips (and a cleaner), that should be something to consider. However, if you are contemplating the Weller, wait and just buy the tips for the Weller.
