I still rely on an old Weller (not sure of the model) for thru-hole

Soldering iron. You can do a lot of debugging
*without* a 'scope.
But, having the world's best 'scope won't do squat when it comes
to melting tin! :-/
So, with the fancy irons with solid-state temperature control circuitry, is
the Weller TC201 now out of fashion? It's been my faithful compainion for
decades--some years ago, I snagged a big batch of assorted tips from a
going-out-of-business sale, so I haven't had any reason to change just yet.
But is there something that's tons better?
