I have another chance at some electronics equipment from a program I'm in for Amazon. This time a soldering rework station. I already have two of the transformer (heavy) type. One is a digital readout and the other is nearly the same, but with only a dial indicator.
They are all transformer type.
I have these:
This just a no name but works fine, but no digital temp read out.I don't like that because it's hard to find the last place I was on. I'll never use it except as a backup iron (50 watt):

X-Tronic 4040-PRO-X • Platinum Soldering ad Rework Station 75 watt ($230.00):

YIHUA 995D+ 2 in 1 Hot Air Rework and Soldering Iron Station
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0919MS875And then this soldering station, which is a no name, but at least it's marketed well, 60 watt ($50.00):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08K8Z3L8XThey all take the Hakko 900 series tips, which I own.
I'm just thinking into the future. Since I already have two solder stations, and at least one I like, the Sealody above, I'm not sure I need another one. I would consider it if I knew it was a step up from what I have and would last virtually forever. Then I'd know I'd never have to by another one. Al of them are more powerful than the ones I have now.
Any suggestions or ideas would be great.
