Seem as though no one has recommended the Duratech, I guess I'll steer clear of it. How much would one be looking at for a PACE station? And any idea where I could purchase one in Australia? (I don't mind buying online, but for some reason I'd prefer to purchase in store for something like this). And which station would you guys suggest? I don't mind upping the limit if it's going to get me a better product, but it is only for hobbyist usage (Unless someone wants to employ me ;), however I'd rather spend a bit extra and get something that's good and will last for a fair amount of time. Or would I be better off grabbing the Weller / Hakko station from DSE? Michael -- Truth will be out this morning. (Which may really mess things up.) -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
