I want to buy a good quality soldering station for precision soldering applications. After reading a lot of opinions in this forum and some others I came to conclusion that it should be either Ersa i-CON 1, Weller WX 1011, JBC CD-2SD or something from Metcal. I don't like Ersa i-CON series and Metcal, so I will eliminate them. I have observed that a lot of people are complaining about Weller and its recent decline in quality, but I have suspicions that not always apples are compared to apples. Usually, they don't specify if they have in mind Active-Tip, Power-Response or Silver-Line irons and their tips and if they are talking about WX, WD or even older stations. So, I want to ask specifically - has anyone tried WX power station and WXMP iron and has any complaints about those two items? Why would I want to choose JBC CD-2SD over Weller WX 1011?
Also, where would you recommend buying JBC production from (in Europe)? There is no local JBC distributor in my country.
