You mean one of those magnastat irons that generate so much noise when they switch they can trigger a 'scope 3m away?
I suggest you try out a Metcal. I fell in love with Metcal irons a decade ago and haven't looked back since. Used to like Weller, but have also used
Hakko and Pace irons. But the Metcal is a delight to use. They too use the Curie point of the tip to regulate temperature, but the tip is directly
heated by RF induction so they are able to provide very stable temperature control and loads of power (mine is 60W ) with a low mass tip, and a very
fast response.
