Soldering Station - which one?

I highly recommend a Pace PRC2000 soldering & rework station. It's only $4500 or so these days, back when I was in the electronics assembly industry they cost something like $10,000. You can solder and rework anything except BGA's with one of those babies. ;D

On a more serious note, I find both the Hakko & Weller work about the same in actual use, but the Hakko fits my hand a lot better. The Weller feels kinda awkward and I never felt comfortable with it. I'd be fine with it for most soldering, but not for surface mount parts or other small things.
