Xytronic LF8800K, Hakko FR300, or other desoldering tool?

[garbagelarge]

My garage was recently broken into and my tools stolen including my Hakko 808 desoldering gun. I am in the market to replace it and am curious if anyone has experience with either of the models mentioned in the thread title.

I was hoping to move from the gun to a station/pencil-type setup, but don't wish to so at the expense of quality.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Ben
