I recommend that if you are going to do serious work (or at least if
your are expecting worth the effort) forget about the ER-71 and go for
the AQ-3000 route.

There is no comparison between both products. The ER-71 is a hobbyst
product that you will find with very erratic results. The AQ-3000 (I am
still waiting for use it but I am reaconditioning my small pcb shop and
acquiring the necessary equipment yet) is intended for professional use
so you can expect very high quality every time if you follow the
directions.
