I bought the $49.95 digital model because I like to see the actual tip temperature. Incidentally a 325 degC temperature is ideal for Cardas Quadeutectic or Wonder solder. Personally I like the Cardas solder best. Bright and shiny joints and very difficult to get a "cold" one.The units already come with a 3.2mm Chisel Tip (KD-M-3.2D) which is just right for what I work on which is boards from the 70's and some point-to-point wiring. For the more modern stuff, I bought a $5 1.6mm Chisel Tip (KD-M-1.6D) but I hardly ever use it. Too small for most needs.
I might add that the link below is the best desoldering tool that I have ever owned and it only cost $5.25!
$5.25 Desoldering Iron As a matter of fact, I liked it so well that I bought two more just in case they stopped making them. Works great on printed circuit boards and not badly on point-to-point joints. I generally have to use desoldering wick for only a little touch up.
