Soldering question

Weller WLC100 solder station...

the problem I have with wellers is that they think way too much of themselves, the one you mentioned is a great example, average price of around 60$, its a basic iron stcuk on a lamp dimmer

whereas the XYtronic one that I have is similar, but came with a much nicer stand, the tip is grounded, and it has 5 more watts for 10 less bucks, Plus its a excellent made iron
