can you reccomend a solder station?

[Hess Hodge]

Hello,

Alologies if this has been covered before... (anyone know where the
archives went?  I have been trying to find them...)

I am in need of a new soldering iron...  Here is what I have found on the
web, and my initial impressions:

Weller EC1002 : Very nice, temprature controlled, expensive ~$250
Weller WES50  : temprature controlled, newer model, less expensive ~$100
Weller WTCPT  : change tips to change temp, ~$150
Weller WLC100 : cheap-o, temp controlled, ~$50
Hakko 936     : nice looking, temp controlled, never heard of brand ~$150

So, can anyone recommend a specific iron for DIY work?  Is the Weller
WLC100 too cheap?  Will I be unhappy with it?  Is the Weller WES50 any
good? etc etc etc...  Let me know your impressions...  What are you using?

Also, does anyone have an old iron (in good shape) that they would like to
sell to me???

Thanks,
Hess
