Take into consideration my miniscule amount of soldering experience, as well.  It may be easier to use for better solderers.

I can solder, but a good gun makes it easy.  I just have a $10 radio shack 15/30W iron, and I can do monitor caps and some minor, very minor, PCB work with.

The heavy duty intricate stuff I have a friend with one of those weller stations.  If you can keep the temp even at the end of the iron, it makes soldering very easy.

The radio shack / wally world ones just keep the wattage even.  The temp drops quick when you start using it.  But those stations with constant temp controls makes it much simpler to control.

With the extra conical tip that I purchased as well, I've been able to solder everything from stuff for my cabinet, to my xbox...and soldering is all new to me.

That's the one I posted above.

The MCM 21-6050 should be perfectly fine for most applications without having to spend a fortune.
