I really do love this station. The T12 system heats up so much faster than my old traditional iron, and having the heat gun in the same unit saves a lot of space on my desk. The firmware is a bit glitchy and I suspect there is a problem with the internal clock battery, as some functions (not all) seems to reset when I disconnect the mains, but it doesn't affect the core functionality of the device. The only thing that drives me nuts is that the power buttons are wired opposite of each other. Top button turns the soldering iron OFF when pressed/lit, the bottom turns the heat gun ON when pressed/lit.
