I had a 40W one that sort of did the trick but it's been getting really weak lately. Last time I used it it was having major trouble melting solder and i burnt a couple wires in frustration.. so definitely need a new one. I'm thinking maybe 60W would have an easier time for the backs of pots and things like that too.
there are lots of cheapies on amazon with fancy dials that select the temperature but don't wanna trust the cheap brands : and if you look at the reviews there are lots of ones saying to stay away.. I'm ready to get one that's a serious investment and will last a while, but I don't want to overspend on something with dials and stuff I don't need.

Should I just go for this one and call it a day? I can re-use the stand\cleaning station thing from the busted one I have now, I'm pretty sure.
