Desoldering station with straight (not gun) handpiece

(1/1)

For some reason my MBT250 control unit decided to misbehave, and while I am repairing it I am thinking about getting a desoldering station like Hakko 472D-01. It's important that the handpiece is straight, not gun-shaped, as I am really used to my Pace one and it feels great.
The question is, other than Hakko and maybe Xytronics LF6000, can you think of other more or less acceptable options I can consider? I don't need a desoldering station and soldering iron combo, as I already have 4 temp-controlled soldering irons, and my bench isn't that big.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Weller makes two : models (for Europe) WDD81X (that has no vacuum pump: it requires shop air) and WRS1002X.

JBC makes others: model CS/CV http://www.jbctools.com/stations/stations/desoldering-rework/234-desoldering-rework/414-cs-cv-microdesoldering-stations and model DIS/DIV/DSS http://www.jbctools.com/stations/stations/desoldering-rework/234-desoldering-rework/326-dis-div-dss-desoldering-station.
A supplier of mine has the smaller JBC unit, and it's a joy to use.

As far as I know only ERSA and JBC station does not use gun style handpiece and are fast recovery stations that can handle new lead free multilayer boards.

Hakko 470 and MBT250 Pace are old technology.

Oh, not a problem at all. 80 percent of results are obtained with 20 percent of tools. I do love JBC though  :-*. Never tried Ersa.

Yeah, JBC is VERY nice. I dream about these rework stations at night....
