My .02 on station vs. hakko is the "gun" on the station is relplaceable.
If the hakko fails, pretty sure u either have to rebuild, or replace the whole thing. Very reliable from what I hear though. And portable.
If you're on the move, go with hakko.
I use one of those $10 RadioShack desoldering irons and it works great. Just did a bunch of socket replacement on a Bally -35 a week or so ago. Worked great.
