I have a TS80P and love it. It's far more powerful than the wattage would otherwise indicate. It heats up - to a precise temperature - in seconds. It is indeed superior to most soldering stations I've seen or used.
However, if I were to buy again, I'd probably go with TS100 (cheaper, seems to have a larger user base, cheaper tips and XT60 connectors are pretty flexible for DIY and simpler than USB-C) or Pinecil (cheaper in general and users are rabid fans).
EDIT: from the IronOS page, it seems that the TS100 is no longer recommended...
"Please note that Miniware started shipping TS100's using cloned STM32 Chips. While these do work with IronOS, their DFU bootloader works terribly, and it is hard to get it to successfully flash larger firmware images like IronOS without timing out. This is the main reason why the TS100 is no longer recommended."
