I currently use a Weller WES-50 (now replaced by the WES-51), but
previously had a Xytronic soldering station which looked identical to
the AUTO-TEMP 379 (I think it was a different model which was later
discontinued).  It worked fine for kit building and was priced right. 

I definitely recommend the use of a temperature-controlled soldering 
station such as this.
