You might want to look at an Xytronic ESD 137. It has all the bells and whistles, quick change temp with lock, LCD readout, calibrate and a very comfortable pencil. ESD safe also. It's definitely a professional station and on sale for $99 at HowardElectronics.com. I have no relationship with the company. I have been soldering since 1959 and my purely subjective side likes this station. It has treated my K2 very well.
