Hi Dave.
Perhaps you could compare a few of the less expensive (but hopefully not too shoddy) base+iron kits out there?
My trusty Pace is in its last legs and there are so many options for a light / small station.
As always, thanks for the forum, videos, etc. :)

Being partial to Pace I'll say the best replacement for a PACE is another PACE :)

I made that mistake too. After 2 years with a Metcal, I now use my old trusty Pace MBT250 again. Replaced the SX-70 with the SX-100 and whished I had done that 2 years ago instead of investing 800 euro in that piece of Metcrap.
I was in doubt too because my Pace was so old. I mailed Pace for advise and they helped me to sort out what to do to update my Pace (partnrs etc)
If you are used to Pace I do not think you like a B-brand. I have good experiance with Weller too. (WS81) I use that for smd)

This is a perfect suggestion! I highly aid it.
He should do one for less than 50$ and one for 100$.
