OK, call me cheap if you want but...
I just ordered the following from Banggood...
- KSGER V2.1S T12 Digital Temperature Controller Soldering Station Electric Soldering Iron Tips T12-K + 9501 Handle
- KSGER NEW Type STM32 OLED T12 Soldering Handle Digital Temperature Controller Electric Soldering Irons Handle Metal DIY Set
- 10pcs T12 Soldering Iron Tips Set for HAKKO FX951 FX952 (T12-k T12-BC2 T12-BL T12-BC1 T12-BC3 T12-ILS T12-D16 T12-KU T12-D12 T12-J02)
- DANIU FG-100 Soldering Iron Tip Thermometer Temperature Detector Tester 0-700℃
- KSGER Soldering Iron Stand Holder Iron Tip Clean Ball Electric Iron Rosewood Soldering Iron
And the whole lot was about $115 with shipping; the actual KSGER V2.1S is coming from the US, the rest from China. The AL handle is also a kit but I figured that it would be OK to understand how that goes together and I get a plastic handle with the main unit anyway.
exe:
I think ksger is a lot of value for money anyway. Another point is, unless you do a lot of soldering, you don't really need the best soldering station all the time. The difference in performance most of the time is not noticeable.
Also, when soldering big polygons, I think it's OK to raise the temperature. It may not be acceptable for production, but for single assembly/repairement you don't need 100% compliance with industry standards, etc. Just get things done with tools you have.

I got mine from aliexpress for about $178 before I found out about the KSGER. But from what others have said I may still need it for lead free soldering ;)

If I also bought a calibrator, I could perform the calibration that DEFPOM demos.

I got two of them now with the fancy quick change aluminium hand pieces. I have put my clunky Hakko fx-951 controllers back in their packing boxes ;) BTW you may have to spray a bit of CRC 226 lube down the shaft to easily remove and insert the tips otherwise they tend to stick to the rubber grommets and drag them out ;)
Also another good deal for aussies is the PACE ADS200 from TE Equipment but it's 120VAC unfortunately :( Not sure if the voltage can be changed but the tips are cheaper than JBC but performance may not be as good.
