Which Soldering Iron to Buy?

I bought that Hakko FX888D awhile back to replace the various cheap irons/stations I had used previously. I've put it through its paces building several thru-hole circuits as well as repairing a friend's LCD TV. Haven't used it for SMT work yet, but it has done everything I've needed with zero problems.
I don't think you'd be disappointed if you bought it. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I think I am going to go with Hakko FX888D since it seems to be a solid station for most people. I'm going to wait it out a few days, do a little bit more digging for reviews, and let it sink in that I am going to get this (so I avoid that impulse buy feeling and know that I really want to get this). Thanks for all the help, I really really appreciate it!

I actually took mine into work today (along with my 808 desoldering gun) to change the caps on an LCD TV. Super handy and portable!

You mean to tell me that this isn't a good Soldering Iron :dunno ...?

Placed my order for the Hakko FX888D last night. Super excited!
