After considering the comments here and looking into it a bit further on my
own, it seems to me that the hot air capability is a generally useful thing
to have. Actually, desoldering is often one of the most frustrating tasks so
anything which would make it easier has got to be good. I think I'll upgrade
my selection to either the Auyoe (pushing the $ limit there) or one of the
stations that Circuit Specialists has.

Thanks for the comments and advice.
