Great guys, now you've got me second guessing myself
The Hakko 888 would probably be my next choice - I had forgotten about the Fry's sale of it.... That might be a better option, getting a brand new system, that should be within calibration (are they pre-calibrated? Calibration really shouldn't matter, as long as it's not horrendously off, right?). And $15 more probably wouldn't kill me (just a few extra hours at work, haha), if I can find one on sale... What do you guys think- last generation station for cheap, or a brand new hakko for $70?
