What makes a good solder desolder station?

I am considering getting one, but If I do get one, I want a good one. Then, what are we looking at in terms of price?

Thanks!

Can't anyone help out this member ?!  ???

I would help, but I'm trying to find out this myself...

I'm looking at a hot-air de-soldering station from Aoyue, the 968, it has interchangeble hot-air tips, for various type of chip packages (plcc,dip,sop,sil,etc...), see: www.aoyue.com or .de

What do you guys think of this for soldering and de-soldering ?

Cheers

If you are serious about electronics go for a known brand and just buy the things you need!

I know my teacher has this solder desolder station by pace. The tips reach 800 degrees in about a minute! It is real nice! I want something like that but I think he said it was about $1000 USD!!

800º ?! That's Farenheit right ?

Also, never heard of "pace", is it a good brand ? Any link ?

Cheers

P.S: Ante, what do you think of the model I presented ?

As I said if you are serious, but of curse your budget will set some limit too!
