My Metcal is an older, cheaper model, and I absolutely love it. I
traded off a nice digital Hakko for it and have never looked back.
One thing I really like about the Metcal is that lightly-used tips
are common and stupid cheap on ebay and other online resources.
The thing I like most about it is that with a given tip, you get the
same action *every* *single* *time* you make a join. Consistency just
freaking rulez. :)

Hmmmm. I see Metcal. Are
they really that much better then anything
else? Currently I am thinking about purchasing an Oki MFR-2241. The Oki
is not that expensive as a Metcal, but uses the same Smart Heat
technology that Oki got from Metcal.
