My biggest gripe about cheap/inexpensive soldering irons/stations is the cord itself.
I find most cheap irons (like the Tenma's and other knock-offs), the cord between the base & the iron are semi-hard rubber/plastic and they never unbend/unkink. And they fight you as you move around the board.
Good irons/stations have soft, supple rubber cords that do not affect your positioning as such.
Another vote for the Hakko FX-888D.
