I'm a bit uncomfortable with Jabe because of the price. Chinese t12 was (and is) a real breakthrough as one could buy a controller for $20 (now it's ~$30, still affordable) and power it from a laptop brick. This gave access to high-performance soldering to everyone.

This Jabe costs >$200 (+customs, no way such a big box will go unnoticed). At this price point I'm personally more into a "real brand".

Then the clone lands instantly on a perfect 450C and starts dipping while soldering. Overshooting while soldering looks hidden in both firmware.

Maybe that's why the Jabe takes a little bit longer?  Is an 20C overshoot worse or better? I don't know.

In the end I've bought 2 units for just over $300 instead of one for $515 and I need another unit for my second home/cottage.  The US customs seems never to intercept small parcels and packages from anywhere, there's some value (I think it's $800, per person, per day) at which they ignore stuff so they aren't nickel and dimeing small buyers like us.

What's the difference between 1BQE and 2BQE ? Is it the mains voltage ?
