Hello,
I have the soldering station CSI-2901 from http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Circuit-Specialists-Europe .
It's well build and the soldering tips are rugged and have very good thermal behaviour. Analog dial is enough for this kind of station. The only downside is the iron holder which is crap (need some rework to hold the iron without touching the tip).
Beware that there is some stations which have tips without integrated heating element. Tips are cheap but they lack thermal capacity (fine one are the worse) which make them not very friendly on lead free soldering.
Weller is very good quality, but I have been very disappointed by tip life (given the price). Unless you solder 8h/day, I think it doesn't worth the money. Do not forget that tip life decrease if you do not continuously solder when they're hot.
