My experiences with the [Metcal] MFR 2241 are very
positive.  [...].
 I've used ERSA and Weller in the past.  I'll never go back.
 Especially the Wellers I used are much inferior to the OKi, yet they
 are more expensive then the OKi MFR! 
Have you used any Hakko irons enough to compare?  I've got a Hakko I'm
happy with, but I haven't used anything else above the el-cheapo
"weekend hobbyist" quality enough to compare them with the Hakko.  I do
recall someone here saying something like "Weller irons are decent,
Hakko irons are good, Metcal irons are great", but multiple opinions
are always good.
