SO there it is my onest opinion.... i've never tried high end soldering iron so...yeah ..but the one that plugs into the mains that our school has ..they suck,that's all, they cant compensate for the temperature drop when you're soldering so the tip is goning to get cold(BTW they are Weller soldering iron)
I started with a luckey 936 paid 40 euros on amazon ; a ripoff since they are the same soldering station they only put their name on there...it was kind of good, but when it died i decided to buy directly from china

so i went with a
STM32 Oled based soldering station and i have to say that i love it
1 it's cheap (paid mine 32 euros on discount)
2 the oled hasviewing angles
3 the tips are T12 tips they have a lot of thermal mass (you can solder everything with it)
4 the tips are chap 3 dollars each
5 it can compensate for drops in temps
6 the starting up and the heating is really fast 5sec maybe
7 it has sleep ,standby mode (mercury switch inside the handle)
google it around it's everywere
