...[snip]... a Quick 957DW...[snip]....
You should have asked for the Quick 861DW instead.

The primary reason is the 861DW has a 1kW output vs. 580W for the 957. Makes a big difference getting things soldered/desoldered without cooking the board IME (lower dwell time). It also uses a cartridge type of heating element + nicer nozzles IMHO (NK series). There's a lot more precision to the handle portion of the 861.
At least they've upgraded the 957 with a brushless DC motor.
The Quick Review: Quick 957 Analog Rework Station thread and the 861DW review by Louis Rossman (there's still photos in the forum as well).
Downside of course, is the 861 more expensive (Louis Rossman's selling it for $271, and Production Automation Corp/Prime Distributing are offering it for $275). Not sure on shipping, but it'll likely be close.
As I'm sure you recall, I do have one of these. So if you've any specific questions, just ask.
