The Aoyue hotair station I have has a soldering iron which is a clone of a hakko 936. Uses the same tips even. I almost exclusively use my Metcals now...the Aoyue has a tip for inserting heat set brass inserts to 3d prints nowadays, I don't use it to solder much. Sidenote: My hotair station is almost 8 years old...still works fine. So for the money it was worth it for sure.
