@neil I have one of the Miniware TS80Ps, which are very similar. Being USB powered it's very handy to be able to take when traveling. It's surprisingly capable of soldering a lot of things. It does fall short on big joints and parts with large ground planes, where is just doesn't have the power.

My old solder station is still my goto however when I'm at home has it has more flexibility for the stuff I'm building.

But for simple stuff and travel flexibility the Pinecil type irons are great.
