This is a most excellent review and comparison! Thanks for making this available and your charts. Its a good way to compare these stations with newer stations like the FX888 or the WES51. Similar curves to yours can be found in the archives for some solder stations I've posted including Metal and JBC.
Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum and here there is my small contribution. [snip]

Thank you very much, but now I realize I have used test conditions that are not
"standard".
Often I needed good temperature recovery after heavy joints and usually
I work at 320°C or less so I tested that way .
My problem is a temperature datalogger that I dont' have and the peaktech returned
to it's original shape, I neet it for capacitors and inductors
Maybe in future If I'll have a logging thermometer I'll make better tests, also
on the hot air part of the YIhua, I dont' trust the display indication, I suspect
it's fake so one day or another I'll repeat some test
