The 2020 looks nice... single iron with temp control IN the handle.=20
Personally, I think I would look for a soldering STATION, rather than=20
having everything inside the handle.

They appear to have two 'lines' of product, "Classic" and "Advanced". I'd=20
guess that the Advanced line is priced above what we mere mortalk hams=20
would want to spend, but the Classis line looks pretty good, and might be=20
within our reach.

The URL to the PDF catalog of their Classic line is:

Their SL2300 soldering station looks nice.


The URL to the PDF catalog of their Advanced line is:

In this line, their AD 2200 looks nice, and offers some nice features, such=
