Quoted from WesleyCowan:"I've heard OK things about Ayoyue, but never used them myself. Here's one of their stations, under $100"

Problem is with shipping it's about $200.
It wasn't always that expensive. I've had my 474 A+ for about 4 years now and it works great for the price. I paid $132 shipped back then.
If mine fails I will probably invest in a Pace. I got to use one a few years ago and it is the nicest desoldering tool I have ever used.
