Once you use one, you will never want to use an ordinary soldering iron

Sorry for the late entry here. I have to agree 100%. I've had a
Metcal SP-200 for about a decade now, in daily use for about half that
time. I've done side-by-side comparisons between it and a Hakko 936,
and a Weller W-TCP...They're all good irons, but the Metcal spanks both
the Hakko and the Weller. It will go with me to my grave!
