This station is pretty good. It has some features that are over the top, like data logging and a footswitch that controls the iron's power. The killer feature, however, are the very thin soldering tips. I was able to rework the lead free qfn/dfn parts with no problem as I actually managed to heat the connection due to the thin tips. My only negative for this station is how expensive it is and it takes a few seconds to boot from off.
