    Metcal is better anyway I can think of but between Pace and Weller it
maybe a matter of "taste". I prefer the Pace but the girls that solder 4
hours a day at my company do not like it !! I do not know why but they
prefer the weller stations. For heavy soldering Pace transfers heat to the
object much better then Weller. The Pace station sits idle most of the time
I am not using it !

    As durability goes I think nothing can beat Wellers ! I have some for
more than 10 years with almost no problems.

Best regards,
Alexandre Guimaraes
