do you need the combo (air/soldering)? not much cheaper, but the same
seller has 

 http://store.sra-solder.com/product.php/6263/26/76526ce2fcd1be4cdc232ee0ebe6e375

for about $60 cheaper. about the same temp range on the air but less
fancy.

anyway, if it were to live at the mothership, i'd be willing to go in on
something (although this is something i'd only use a couple times a
year).
