For fine work, there is nothing better... the newer MX-5010 series are lovely too - much the same - slightly more power and with a digital display... ...however, they are VERY expensive - typically close to USD 1000 by the time you add in the pencils & other bits. Nice thing about the MX-500s is that they are "user serviceable", i.e. the schematics are available and they use pretty standard parts - bearing in mind that they are RF-based, that's really useful...
