So, with the fancy irons with solid-state temperature control circuitry, is
the Weller TC201 now out of fashion?  It's been my faithful compainion for
decades--some years ago, I snagged a big batch of assorted tips from a
going-out-of-business sale, so I haven't had any reason to change just yet.

But is there something that's tons better?
