I went the more economical $24.95 Circuit Specialists Inc. route - and bought like 5 extra tips, for the K2 build. I had new tips, and a new soldering station - and the build went very well - and I think all of my solder joints were super (IMHO). I'm not one to invest tons in a soldering iron - once month long K2 job is over - I could toss it if I had a mind to. For sure I had super sharp and super hot tips the whole build. For these reasons - I don't invest biga bucks in Weller, etc. I put the money - into my backup IC-7000.
